Reminder: in most systems of government in world history, January 7 would have dawned with the heads of Donald Trump and the rioters mounted on pikes around the Capitol as a warning to others for all time. A purely legislative process of accountability is a pretty mild response.

Really glad that you know something of it, Dan. Yes, it's very sad and fascinating. From the year of anarchy (1820), to the many civil wars, and the terrible acts perpetrated by Rosas's secret police, the infamous Mazorca.

Argentines also have to have huge pride wrt 19th century history. 1st country to win independence from Spain. Even better, u never lost it after and had to regain it. Rosas was a Caudillo but he wasn't all bad. And the 1880s cultural and immigration renaissance was amazing.
