The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

The Party Of 1861

 Martin Longman is exasperated that legal experts can't wrap their heads around the fact that Trump was not orchestrating a riot on January 6th, he was executing a coup. This was sedition, not a riot. Trying to prove sedition might be difficult, because of First Amendment protections, but the thing about Trumpistan is that they aren't smart and they committed their crimes in the open. Cassidy Hutchinson helped advance a cause we already knew existed.

Conservatives like to think that they are heirs to 1776. Of course, what 1776 meant to different people at the time is what created American politics. 

The Party of Trump is the Party of 1861: a party of White supremacists waging war on the Constitutional government of the United States.
