Good Germans: The Republican Party, the Insurrection of January 6, 2021, and the Election of November 2024

MAGA and their continual distain for democracy and affection for dictatorships and cruelty

I published this article on LinkedIn over four years ago, just after the Trump instigated insurrection and attempted coup on January 6, 2021. Even then I had very strong and visceral feelings about MAGA and all Trump supporters. The more accurate term would be hatred. These traitors had the same information as all other Americans about Trump, to include historical references to guide them regarding authoritarianism to compare to his words and actions. Despite all that, they still chose to back Donald Trump in the November 2020 election, to violently storm the U.S. Capitol when he asked them to do so in order to stop confirmation of Joe Biden as the legitimate winner of the election, to irrationally believe Trump’s lies of a stolen election, and to refuse to blame him for almost toppling our government on January 6th. I had had more than enough and wrote the article you are about to read.

I firmly believe that with all the recent events since January 20, 2025, that article is more relevent now than ever. Let me know what you think.
