Selling Out Democracy: Corporations are again Backing Pols who Tried to Overthrow President Biden
By Kyle Herrig | – ( Otherwords.org) – One year ago, the foundation of our democracy was jeopardized in a full-blown coup attempt by seditionists egged on by former president Donald Trump. People died. Confederate flags were waved inside the Capitol. People with zip ties and weapons were ready to do harm or even kill […]
Jan. 6 Coup attempt became Republican Road Map: Whether democracy survives is up to us
( Otherwords.org ) – The defeat of Donald Trump in 2020 was supposed to put an end to America’s delusional national politics. The quashing of the January 6 insurrection — and the brief, near-unanimous revulsion among members of Trump’s party for that violence — provided some hope that the fever dream had passed. But the […]
Capitol assault: the real reason Trump and the crowd almost killed US democracy
By Stephen Reicher, Alex Haslam, Evangelos Ntontis, and Klara Jurstakova | – It was the moment that could have brought US democracy to its knees. One year ago, around noon on January 6, 2021, Donald Trump gave the concluding speech to a “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington DC. Within an hour, protesters attacked and […]
Dick Cheney says he doesn’t Recognize current GOP, but he Helped pave way for Insurrection
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – Former Vice President Dick Cheney accompanied his daughter, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), to the Capitol on Thursday to join the moment of silence in commemoration of the Jan. 6 insurrection. They were the only Republicans to attend. The elder Cheney was quoted as saying of the Republican House leadership, “It’s […]
The Capitol Insurrectionists came for America with Bibles, Guns and a Messianic Trumpism
Oakland, Ca. (Special to Informed Comment) – At Christian Nationalist conferences , “ . . . resistance to Mr. Trump is tantamount to resistance to God,” according to New York Times writer Katherine Stewart. That accounts for the heavy presence of Christian symbols, crosses and Bibles, AND guns carried by rioters during the January 6 […]
In 1953, the Republican Party overthrew the Iranian Government; on 1/6/21 it used the Same Techniques against the elected President
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – On January 6, 2021, Trump attempted to make a coup and remain in power despite losing the election to Joe Biden. Although many American pundits speak of Trump’s action as unprecedented, actually the Washington elite has a long history of making or backing coups d’etat in other countries. One of […]
One year after the January 6 insurrection, is the United States on the Verge of Break-up?
When does a country stop being a country? ( Foreign Policy in Focus) – This critical moment takes place before a civil war breaks out or an official ceremony of dissolution is held. At some point, the citizens of the country stop thinking of themselves as members of a common association. At some point, the […]
1 Year after 1/6, Polls reveal Republican Party captured by Great Leader Syndrome just like North Koreans
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – You sometimes hear from right-wing pundits that the widespread Republican rejection of the legitimacy of President Biden is just mirroring the Democrats’ dismissal of Trump’s presidency. This piece of whataboutism is not even grounded in the facts. 76 percent of Clinton voters on November 9, 2016 accepted that Trump was […]
