1/6 is one of the scariest. Not just for the potential implications of what could have happened that day. But everything that's happened since. How half the country is committed to memory holing, minimizing, or outright agreeing with what happened that day. How something that dangerous has essentially been swallowed by partisanship. How it hasn't been correctly identified as a fascist coup attempt. How it hasn't been thoroughly punished both as a political and criminal matter.

All of these things sow the very real seeds of a bad end for American democracy. It'll embolden people who think that any election they lose was stolen and so it's alright to actually steal elections in response or to think that using violence to do so won't be punished.
