Trump’s Götterdämmerung

Trump has shrewdly exploited problems and hatred that existed way before he entered politics.

Anyone who was surprised by the mayhem in Washington, DC has not been paying attention for the last four years. The grotesque scenes around the Capitol on January 6 were indeed shocking: wild-eyed thugs with neo-Nazi flags and Trump banners smashing their way into the House of Representatives and the Senate, while mobs roared ‘USA’ and ‘Stop the Steal’ and others took selfies to show their moment of glory to their grandchildren one day.
