Convict the January 6th seditious rioters including the instigator

From Trump’s promise of a “wild” protest to far-right calls to “get into Capitol building” and posts of floor plan layouts- it was  sedition! - TheDailyBeast.com

Maine Writer opinion - Often, cliché's are the best way to summarize a situation. History repeating itself is one way to conceptualize the dangers still simmering, post the January 6th seditious riots at the U.S. Capitol. Just read summaries about Mein Kampf to learn more and read the following letter published in Tulsa World. In fact, the first attempt by Nazis to take over Germany failed, until it didn't.

"this violence will continue..." Dr. Setter opinion.

This opinion echo letter was published in the Oklahoma newspaper "Tulsa World", one of my favorite US newspapers! 

The January 6th (seditious!) insurrection at the Capitol was what Donald Trump wanted, and he must be held accountable!

Trump agitated his supporters by repeatedly lying about the election being stolen and warning that the fate of the nation was at stake.

He organized the rally, encouraging his supporters to come to Washington when Congress would be certifying the electors.

Trump tweeted: “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th,” and “Be there, will be wild!”

Many of his followers planned a violent protest. 

They posted in plain sight about using force. On Jan. 1, one tweeted: “The calvary [sic] is coming, Mr. President!”

Trump responded: “A great honor!”

On Jan. 5, one posted: “If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism.”

Responding comments included photographs of assault rifles and other weapons they planned to bring and comments about occupying the Capitol.

Trump did nothing to discourage this.

At the rally, after one statement about a peaceful protest, Trump sent them to the Capitol with this message: “And we fight. We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore. …and we’re going to the Capitol."

He sent no messages to stop the rioters, nor call in the National Guard.

He must resign, be removed from office, or impeached and convicted with a bipartisan vote, or this violence will continue.
