Donald Trump and the MAGA movement’s coup attempt on Jan. 6 never stopped.
On that day, American democracy was saved by the bravery of the Capitol police and other law enforcement who battled against Trump’s MAGA assault force. It was also saved by the quick thinking of the Senate aides who secured the Electoral College ballots. Vice President Mike Pence, for his part, did the minimum of properly certifying the results of the 2020 election. But Donald Trump and the neofascist movement’s plans to end America’s multiracial democracy were not deterred by what they saw as a temporary defeat on Jan 6.
