🧵 On January 6 rightwing extremists attacked your nation’s Capitol, tried to kill, and sought to end democracy.
Every American should watch these harrowing videos from @NewYorker to see up close the fascism that now stands at our doorstep.

Before they breached the Capitol, the fascist mob constructed gallows and nooses and threatened police officers with violence.
The mob then attacked Capitol police officers and forced their way in, hunting for Members of Congress.
Trump’s fascist mob shattered windows and kicked down doors in search of elected officials. They screamed “where the f— is Nancy” and “hang Mike Pence”.
These were not protesters; they were violent terrorists.
These were not protesters; they were violent terrorists.
The terrorists forced their way to the Senate and House floors, where icons like Thaddeus Stevens once railed against slavery and apartheid.
These fascists vandalized your Senate and defiled the legacies of these sacred chambers.

The desecration of your Capitol wasn’t enough for the rioters. They continued to beat and bludgeon police officers outside and cause mayhem.
Trump’s fascist mob brought guns, pipe bombs, and other weapons. US Capitol Police were severely outgunned and outmanned. Watch as these extremists attack officers mercilessly.
Listen closely to these extremists as they talk about killing members of Congress and the press.
These domestic terrorists were out for blood. They were incited by Trump. They were radicalized by years of republican lies about voting. This is the fascist wolf that must be stopped.
