The violence on Capitol Hill was the result of a complete loss of faith in the institutions.
In the days following events at the Capitol, we’ve been flooded with statements from media talking heads and Congresspeople clutching their pearls and vehemently denouncing the violence. Images of Congressmen and women donning gas masks and fleeing through underground tunnels have circulated via social media. The attack sent our leaders scurrying to their bunker and resulted in four lives lost.
Trump supporters have been completely demonized, with calls for post-9/11 surveillance methods to be used on “domestic terrorists.” The summer’s riots, which claimed 30+ lives and caused $1 billion in property damage, have been largely forgotten since the election. Down the memory hole.
Joe Biden and the Establishment, their power cemented in all three branches of government, are eager to dispose of Donald Trump and continuously call for “unity and healing.” In the D.C. machine, the attitude is one of victory: Events on January 6 successfully purged the Republican Party and American politics of Donald Trump.
But have they?
The riot at the Capitol was a sign of something far more troubling than angry voters expressing their contempt for legitimate election results. It was evidence of a complete loss of faith in the institutions.
The Left gave up on “the system” long ago. The constant calls for socialism, the anarchy in the streets, the “defund the police” movement -- these are demands from people who have given up on the traditional ways of politics.

It is going to be like February 2, 1984. Groundhog day in George Orwell’s dystopia.
Read the Declaration of Independence again, all the way through, slowly.
“Read the Declaration of Independence again, all the way through, slowly.”
Then the Constitution. Especially Article II, Section 8.

A government employee shot a Trump supporter.
That's the extent of it, really.
The violence wasn't precisely because We The People have lost faith in our institutions (although we have). The violence was because the Government now stands in opposition to We The People and wants to treat us like peasants, and put us down like dogs if we get uppity.

Author is a nobody. This is the only article she’s written for American Thinker. Don’t know where the hell it’s getting these scribblers from. There’s hundreds of them in its listings, and this one shows no bonafides at all. There are maybe 30 or so same names as hers showing up on LinkedIn but none of them stand out. To state that we should relax, there’s no danger of anarchy, or that the left and the right in America are “having the same problems”. or that the deep state is “all about the money”—and nothing else—is sheer lunacy. She’s a moonbat and a dangerous one.
One thing stood out in this very alarming report - there are domestic terrorists. But they are not the stripe that the Deep State tries to make out. Antifa and BLM, financed in large part by an oligarchy of multi-billionaires, and aided and abetted by a contingent within the bureaucracy and the elected members of the Congress, are working very hard to keep the conspiracy together. The insurgency is of such dimensions that it transcends party lines and is embedded with so many institutions, like a metastasized cancer, that whole rest of the body is threatened.
Very well. Soon, there shall be nothing to lose, which makes the only option for existential survival an effort patterned on the mustering of the defense of Great Britain in 1940. His stirring words before the House of Commons read in part, “I would say to the House as I said to those who have joined this government: ‘I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat’. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering.
“You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory. Victory at all costs—Victory in spite of all terror—Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.”
In 1945, Great Britain lay broke and bleeding, and only recovered slowly in the aftermath, while its primary enemy, the National Socialist German Reich, was obliterated, a smoking ruin. But the disease had infected the British Empire, and it fell away in vast shreds, as Great Britain itself fell into a slough of despond, allowing itself to be transformed into a pale imitation of the enemy they had so recently defeated. A ruinous socialism held the Mother of Parliaments in its grip, virtually halting recovery in the British Isles for years, until most of the yoke of the socialist state was lifted, and a modicum of representative democracy was returned to the people, so small business could once again flourish.
George Orwell’s novel “1984” was based in large part on the conditions that prevailed in England in 1948.
And how many articles have you had published?
Criticize her ideas in a way that we can respect yours.
Agree.
Just asking, is AT connected with Free Republic?
Reichstag Fire. A bunch of people rioted in the Capitol on January 6th. That was all. It was not an attack by ISIS. Or even by ANTIFA, if it was, it would had gotten way worse.
It’s an innocent question. AT is a “go-to” site for me. Now that I look at it, guess it’s no different than all the Townhall articles we see here. And I like those as well.
There is no connection between AT and Free Republic. I post some articles from AT because they interest me. There are lots of other sites out there and sometimes I find interesting articles, but AT usually has several articles per day that interest me so that is the first site I look at every morning.
Thanks for getting back on that.
A great analysis of where the country is in 2021! Thanks for posting it.
OK. She wrote: "The riot at the Capitol was a sign of something far more troubling than angry voters expressing their contempt for legitimate election results."
She lies. Right there.
They were not legitimate results.
She's a lying, dangerous moonbat.
