Michael Fanone worked for the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia from 2001 until his retirement following the storming of the U.S. Capitol 2021. What he says here I find interesting.
Two points:
MAGA congresspeople appear to be “triggered” by the word “insurrection,” but that’s an act. These people all graduated from good colleges, and are anything but stupid. What they are, however, is a collection of a) liars and b) actors. They have all seen the video footage of the wreckage, but they know how to appear outraged to their constituents who are desperate to believe that the incident was simply an unplanned tour of the building, and/or that it was set in motion by Antifa, BLM, the Deep State, the Hollywood elite, the woke mob of radical thugs, etc.
By the time the justice system finishes up with Trump and his top brass, Americans will have been exposed to dozens, perhaps hundreds of times more evidence on this subject than what we’re sitting on today. When all this is over, only the world-is-flat QAnoners will reject the word “insurrection.”

America’s Brand: Indifference to Human Pain
There are essentially two forms of government on this planet: those that care about the wellbeing of their citizens and serve their interests and those that don’t.
Until the late 20th Century, one could have plausibly argued either way re: the United States. Since about 1980, it’s been clear that we really couldn’t care less about the sufferings of the common American.
It’s really become part of our brand. Billionaires deserve tax cuts. The middle class is shrinking, and the poor deserve a kick in the ass for not working harder.

Maine: This shouldn’t be too tough a challenge.
