The US media's reliving 6/1 as if nobody warned them, and they couldn't have worked it out for themselves. Almost the entire anti-fascist alt media warned them. Stop the Steal was totally obvious - 1/ this from me in late October 2020: newstatesman.com/world/2020/10/… 
2/ Next - after 6/1 it was immediately obvious there would be a four year quasi-fascist insurgency, but no - the US media just breathed a sigh of relief as @ladygaga sang the anthem... this from 13/6/21 newstatesman.com/world/2021/01/…
3/ The next milestone was the acquittal of Trump - and the emergence of the insurrectionary wing of the GOP in Congress... which liberalism and the tank left totally underestimated medium.com/mosquito-ridge…
4/ Then the "Trump the loner" narrative emerged out of Wolff's book... large parts of liberalism and the left, who despise each other but share the same complacency, seized on it, to say "look, see, no coup".... but there was an alternative explanation.... medium.com/mosquito-ridge…
5/ The @January6thCmte is hauling evidence into public view faster than many Americans can process it...there was a coup plot and there was an insurrectionary conspiracy: the only q remaining is the level of overt command chain between them... medium.com/mosquito-ridge…
6/ So the insurrection continues at state level; the US Federal authorities don't have the guts to go after the politicians who organised 6/1; nobody should assume the rule of law and a stable Federal government will exist beyond the mid-decade... theneweuropean.co.uk/paul-mason-on-…
