The Second American Revolution?

 

At this moment, it looks as though the USA may be at the beginning of either a revolution or a civil war. The action of invading the Capitol Building is extreme enough that those involved may decide it is safer to press on than to stand down.

The returns from the Georgia Senate runoff, at the same time, look like a parallel attempted coup. Had the Republicans won that election, as Republicans have always won in Georgia before, it would have stood as evidence that the prior presidential election was legitimate after all. That the results seemed to mimic precisely those of the presidential election suggests instead that the prior election was stolen, and that, unless something dramatic is done quickly, all future elections will be similarly stolen.

I cannot foresee this all ending peacefully. I question whether democracy can survive in the US.
