I'd suggest a quick consideration: the people who attempted a coup yesterday (bc that's what it was), following the orders of the US "President" are not "disenfrenchised" or forgotten. That's not who they are. They are white supremacists who are seeing their idol wane.

2. They're brainwashed by Fox News, QAnon etc. By their own choice, not for lack of options. They're Bannon's friends. Dude in pics with Meloni and Salvini. That those of us who work with the US know far too well. It was all premeditated and facilitated by the "President".
3. Trump has been assaulting democracy for four years. This didn't start yesterday. Yesterday was the culmination of his autocratic and dictatorial desires. We've been saying this for five years. And @HillaryClinton warned everyone about this, even during the debates.
4. So do all of us who've been following this for years a favor: spare us the "but we need to talk to these people" rhetoric. You're years late. we all tried, but as @KamalaHarris has said: in order to talk it takes someone to listen.
5. And those on the other side not only do not listen, but also they create an alternate reality in order to allow their racist, autocratic desires to keep thriving. We don't need to talk anymore, it's time to act. It's time to isolate, arrest and regulate information seriously.
6. Bc without Fox News, without Bannon and Breitbart, without QAnon and the complete falsehoods they spread, posing as media while putting out completely false material, none of this would have been possible. And social media must be regulated.
7. We've been saying this for years. It's time to act. And the USA must lead this process, being the first directly involved party. Democracy is not anarchy. It's tolerance and acceptance for what right to choose. It's not freedom of disinformation. /END.
