      This grave crisis is overlooked. After being lied to for months, many millions of people *do believe* the election was stolen from Trump. Yesterday, a majority of GOP representatives voted to overturn it. Try to sanction the liars, and we'll be told "what about their supporters?"pic.twitter.com/aUx6YG3Vr8

      I don't think people have come to terms with what is happening. I can't believe the Senate and the House just went home. Even after all the mayhem yesterday, majority of GOP representatives *still* tried to throw out the election without even pretending to have a basis for it.

          What wake-up call do folks need? Are we going to argue that our institutions are resilient until they do succeed in throwing out elections? They walked into a building riddled with bullet holes where people had died trying to storm it and voted to overthrow the election anyway.

          This isn't a partisan problem. The crisis the United States faces is far beyond ideal tax rates & different budget priorities. There is a bloc with growing power at every level that has decided elections can be optional if they lose—and they aren't going to go away by themselves.

          I'm begging my Representatives to impeach. The House **must** reconvene to impeach. Congress is abdicating its responsibility to protect itself and check the Executive. They let the Executive mug them and walk away with no repercussions.

          Completely unacceptable. The fact that both chambers called it quits after the last 36 hours is maybe even more shocking and depressing than the actual insurrectionist/terrorist events yesterday.

          I really don’t understand why the narrative is “American institutions held” and not “if the GOP had won about 6 more seats in the house back in 2018, American Democracy would have probably ended yesterday”

          Their lives were threatened. I think it's ok that they get to go home after that.

          Is it though? We make our schoolchildren return to school after lockdowns and businesses force employees in malls to open back up after shooter events- hell, banks open up within an hour of being robbed! Why should they be treated with kid gloves when actual children aren’t?

          They don’t stop because it’s all political theatre to divert our attention away from the money. Both sides are complicit. Our country is run by the plutocrats who gain more power each minute, writing laws that benefit them at our expense. The sooner everyone wakes up, the better.
