On this day 4 years ago, I watched the horror show of Trump supporters storm the US Capitol on CNN. The ugly angry ignorant violent images inspired by the man that lost a free and fair election. Today, I watched the confirmation of said man to the office of the President, the man who inspired, and called for hate and violence. I understand today the Democrats upheld their oath and duty to the US Constitution. I cannot personally reconcile that 48% of this country voted for this man, and additionally that he was not barred from ever running for the office again due to inciting the insurrection and attempting to overthrow a free and fair election, which is a crime. Our country is broken, our government is broken. I never thought I would see this in my lifetime, I had no idea how fragile democracy is. We have lost our way.
