📅 January 6, 2021: Riots at the US Capitol

‘A year on, the Republican Party doesn’t appear to have suffered much collateral damage’, writes @michael2day, Chief Foreign Commentator. ⬇️

🔴 ‘Even Donald Trump’s fiercest critics couldn’t have imagined the outgoing Republican president encouraging a mob to attack the Capitol in a bid to reverse the result of an election he had lost.’

🔴 But just one year later...

‘Pundits predict the Republican Party will regain control of the House of Representatives in the midterm elections later this year, as Americans return to their traditional sides of the partisan divide’.

inews.co.uk/news/world/cap… Image
🔴 62% of Americans said they expect the losing side in future presidential elections to react violently, according to a CBS News-YouGov poll conducted in late December.

A quarter said “force might be justified”, depending on the circumstances. Image
‘This ambivalence towards political violence explains why campaigning against Republican figures on the basis of their complicity in the insurrection isn’t working for the Democrats.’

🔴 @KasiaLDelgado inews.co.uk/news/long-read…
@KasiaLDelgado Men have indeed been doing crucial Covid number-crunching, but because the pandemic did start a long time ago but not as far back as the Dark Ages, swathes of women have been doing it too 🦠📈
