Five years ago today, Trump summoned a mob to Washington, DC for a “protest” on Jan. 6, 2021, tweeting: “Be there, will be wild!”
Rightwing extremists began planning for violence almost immediately.

There were no drones.
No mothership.
No invasion.
Just airplanes, blurry cameras, and a political ecosystem that profits from panic and never apologizes when it’s wrong.

Trump used a prime-time address—normally reserved for national emergencies—for lies, grievance, and division. No empathy. No plan. Just 18 minutes of noise. If only I could get that time back.

Leaving Congress didn’t give me all the answers. It forced me to ask better questions.

The Iraq War was a tragic mistake, but nobody was surprised that the US military took Baghdad in less than a month, even though Iraq is half a world away from the US. Meanwhile, Russia can’t get halfway across a country on its border. Losers.
To those thinking Russia is winning in Ukraine:
Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, we were almost four years into it, only occupied 20 percent, and lost a million men.
Not a soul would call that “winning.”

I’ve been guilty of this too, but when I read people say, even though they’re trying to be nice, like “I disagree with Rob Reiner politically, but I am sad by his loss.”
Why do we always feel the need to talk about whether we agreed with somebody politically or not?
