It was rooted in racism and division.
January 6th was not a spontaneous event. It was nourished and encouraged over many months and many years.
It did not begin with Charlottesville. Nor did it begin with "birtherism". Nor the "Central Park Five".
It came from an evil deep in the soul of America.
Donald Trump manifested that evil and he used it to his political advantage to maintain power in his quest for whatever he was searching for?
When he sent out his invitations to meet in Washington DC on January 6th for a "wild time", he knew what type of people would show up. He knew they had a tendency toward violence. It didn't just happen. It was planned.
As the House Managers so thoughtfully pointed out, he had run out of peaceful options to remain in power. January 6th was his last chance and it had to be violent.
It was a pre-meditated conspiracy to over-throw a duly-elected government.
It was evil at its core.
