How did we get here?

4. There are a few crucial missing pieces in there, IMHO

1) 9/11

The events of 9/11 were critical to perpetuate conspiracy theories and then take advantage of the terrorized citizenry via the vehicles mentioned in the cartoon.

2) Mitch McConnell

This “man” was perhaps the single person most responsible for letting Donnie dumpster get away with his preposterous behavior. He could have prevented dumpster from being eligible from holding public office but he was too cowardly and full of lust for power to remove him from office not once, but twice. Had he upheld his oath to the Constitution like Mike Pence did on J6, we would have been spared dumpster walking back into the Oval Office. That and he stole two seats ( one could argue three because of how he rushed coney-baret through, breaking the traditional rule for how justices are confirmed in the senate) on the SC that belonged to the liberals.
