Almost twenty years ago Bin Ladin directed his followers to attack America. Two planes hit and destroyed the World Trade Center. One plane hit the Pentagon. The fourth plane was prevented from doing something similar by the heroic passengers and flight attendants. For all took a vote. And honored the vote they took and attacked the terrorists.
No one knows where that fourth plane was headed for. The Pentagon? The White House? The Capitol? At some level, it was almost incredible that there could be anyone out there who would attack our institutions like that. Now, we not only have foreign enemies who think like that, we have a President who thinks like that. Who thinks nothing of attacking the Capitol.
No one had control over those rioters. They thought nothing of severely attacking, and ultimately killing, officers who were just standing their ground, protecting Congress. Who knows what they would have done in their rage if they got ahold of some congressman, or senator, or the Vice President? If they could kill a policeman, what would they have done to Mike Pence.
They came close to seizing and burning the electoral college boxes holding the official certificates used to make the official counting. Hell, they could have decided to make a real statement and burn down the Capitol. To make it impossible to hold the Electoral College counting in the tradition House chamber. Who could have stopped them?
Twenty years ago, we have a distance enemy who decided to attack the symbols of America. Now we have a President who will do the same, if he thinks he may get some advantage from it that will allow him to be President for four more years.
Trump is so much worse than the worst President of the United States. He ranks with our greatest enemies who will attack the symbols of America.
