No Heroes Here: The Capitol Attack and The Fundamental Truth of Democracy
Manage episode 282504791 series 2802141
On January 6th, MAGA-clad insurrectionists attacked the U.S. Capitol, there to fulfill Donald Trump's call to "stop the count." But more than the building, they attacked what Ronald Reagan called "the bulwark of our Republic," the continuity of government; the peaceful transfer of power.
In that moment, Americans were exposed to the fundamental truth of democracy, a truth we often experience as a nightmare.
But when we courageously embrace that truth, we can then experience as something else entirely: a miracle.
