If anyone overseas is wondering, its not super big news even here across the pond. But part of the current investigation showed that the US military (or at least the higher ups and top brass) realized early on during January 6th that this was an attempted coup.

Thank you for being kind but I can absolutely assure you that over here there absolutely are A LOT of people who are dumb and incapable of critical thinking. After years of cutting funding to our education system and decades of increasing the cost of secondary education there are more simple minded people than you can believe. It's heartbreaking.

I can tell you what the other countries think of our legal system They think we are crazy to let these criminals run around free for months and even years. T will never admit he was wrong or that he made an error. He will never, never admit it.

When ever the talk turns to politicians accusing other politicians of ' taking the guns', it causes gun sales to go off the charts. That is the real reason for the short lived threats

What we are seeing is ideological internalization. Being MAGA, a conservative, and a Republican have become such a core part of how they identify that they are forced to support any and everything about it. A criticism against it is a criticism of them and they take it personal.

Very insightful callers! I'm originally American (but living in Europe since 1996) and learned something from their analyses. I fully agree with them. I see a huge change since I left the U.S. and I blame a lot of it on Fox News and social media. Right-wing media didn't exist when I lived there and the society was much more cohesive.

Usually I agree with James and think he’s pretty smart but this is one where I don’t get how he doesn’t understand it. It’s so obvious that trump knew from back then that he could do whatever he wanted because he’s done it his entire life. All rich people think that way. His entire presidency and what he did behind the scenes that we still don’t know about and all these indictments are just the tip of the iceberg on him scarily enough. He had years and years of sketchy dealings well before he became president that we don’t know about and that’s by design by him.

I agree with both, dRUMP was his father’s son. But, I also believe those who voted and still support him, are like him, that’s why they follow him.

I dont think he knew he could take it this far from the beginning, for him to know that he must really be an actual 'stable genius'/ mastermind, which he definitely is not. I think it happened gradually. it began with the primary debates, at first not many took him seriously, but when the cheers became louder and louder (I believe also to his own surprise) as he lied and insulted his way through the debates, something he revelled in, being an arrogant, mean, entitled rich kid, bullying was something he was well versed and excelled in. and then came the rallies, which took his ego to a whole different level, thats why he kept having them long after he was elected, his narcissistic personality craves the cheers and idolation. As time went on, he realized that his supporters would continue to fanatically support him, and all he had to do was tell them what they wanted to hear. He was also emboldened by the fact that many of the GOP politicians were afraid of the grip he had on the base, plus they were also unwilling to criticize him in public out of party loyalty. He realized that he didn't actually need to fulfil the promises made. Just blame the Democrats, the so-called 'deepstate', and 'RINOs' for sabotaging the implementation and achievement of the MAGA agenda. All this being said, Im baffled and disgusted that after everything he has done practically in plain site. Especially undermining the democracy of the most powerful country in the world, a country that prides itself as the bastion of the democratic system, he still maintains the support he has today and could actually be voted into office again. Totally bizarre.

I agree. It is pretty clear that he entered the race, under the cover of getting back at Obama, but really as a money spinning ruse - to build a stunning contacts base on which to launch other ventures, including a media outlet. Pretty sure that he had no plan to be president and was able to function precisely because there was a civil service which held the memory of administration and organisation. I think that he was entranced by what he could get away with - remember the hurricane map which he altered with black felt tip so it fitted in with one of his lies? It is so unfortunate that there are people, like Trump, who make our societies more regulated as they believe that unless it is formally deemed illegal, well, it must be fair play to do it. His behaviour leads to micromanaged communities, overburdened with regulations and laws which have to be set out in fine detail so that the Trumps of this world are clear of their boundaries.
