It turns out that President Donald Trump was literal when he told us that he would be “wild” on January 6.
And so on Wednesday, but it was also catastrophic for the party, and the Trump movement has been led for the last five years.
On Wednesday, the defeats of the Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue senators were confirmed in the election in Georgia. This translates into the loss of GOP for the next two years.
Chuck Schumer now replaces Mitch McConnell as the leader of the majority.
The recent division of 50-50 will be erected by the vice president of Elekt Kamala Harris, president of the Senate on January 20, can cast a decisive vote in every stern case, in which both parties are evenly divided.
On Wednesday, there was also the acceptance of Joe Biden’s Congress in 306-232 of the election victory over Trump. The last potential obstacle in the inauguration of Biden as the 46th President of the United States was removed.
But the worst events for Trump occurred when a segment of a amiable crowd of 50,000 people, who just turned, ended the march down the shopping center to the US Capitol, crashing into the building, attacking and occupying the Senate and domestic chambers.
Congress members were forced to escape and hide. The protesters, the air force veteran, was shot by the capital’s policeman. Vice President Mike Pence, who presided over the joint session, was arrested by his details of secret service. The door was open. The windows were broken and the building was destroyed.
All this was observable on national television from the south in the afternoon. The fronts of the Eastern and West Capitol were occupied for many hours by the protesters of Pro-Trump, whose president, his son Don Jr. And Rudy Giuliani aroused a few hours before the march in the shopping center.
What the Americans watched was the occupation of the crowd and desecration of the temple of the American Republic. And the event will be used forever to discredit not only Trump, but the movement that led and achieve his presidency. He will be demonized as no one else in our history since Richard Nixon or Joe McCarthy.
However, only two months ago Trump turned to the highest vote in history by the current president, 74 million. According to four main polls, its approval remains where it has been taken for four years, from 40 to 50%.
What happened on Wednesday was disgrace and defeat. But this was not the case, as some claimed, comparable to September 11 or to British burning capitol in 1814. During the war in 1812, it was a malicious hyperbola, propaganda of the establishment.
On September 11, 2001, over 3,000 Americans died terribly when the twin Towers of the Manhattan World Trade Center crashed, and the Pentagon was hit by a kidnapped plane. In the lives of many of us, much more stern events took place than the four -hour occupation of the Capitol.
In May 1970, after Nixon ordered the invasion of Cambodia to immaculate the communist sanctuaries, soldiers of the National Guard, in panic, he shot and killed four students at Kent State University in Ohio.
Hundreds of campus exploded; Hundreds of universities closed to the semester. The results of thousands of demonstrators poured into DC buses, from end to end, circulated on the White House. American soldiers were moved to the basement of the executive office building.
Today is an absurd media conversation about the removal of the president through impeachment or calling 25 amendments.
If the Chamber is voting, does the Senate intend to carry out the trial within 12 days to place Pence in an oval office? As for the removal of Trump by the 25th amendment, it would require a declaration of Vice President Pence and half of the office that Trump is not able to end the date ending in two weeks. It won’t happen.
But undeniably, events on Wednesday will divide the Republican party. And what does the future of this event look like now?
After leaving the presidency of Trump, he will not come back. Opposition to him in GOP would prevent his nomination or defects to prevent his re -election to prevent him from being re -reused.
However, the size and strength of Trump’s movement is that no republican candidate who declares that Persona Non Grata cannot win the nomination and presidency.
Trump’s supporters are today blurred and prejudiced by the same media, which ilonionized “calm protesters” Blm and Antifa, who spent summer riots, plunder, burning and plundering Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Portland, Kenosh, Louisville and Sare of Other Cities.
The Trumpists were previously demonized. They are used to this. And regardless of their sins, disloyalty and ingratitude towards the man they put into the presidency is not one of them.
Wednesday was a bad day for America, but it was not a Reichstag fire.
Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of “Nixon’s Biało Paieo Wars: the battles that created and broke the president and divided America forever.”
