The political divide over January 6 is only deepening five years after the deadly US Capitol attack

Five years after the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol, the fundamental facts of that day continue to fuel deep divisions that have created dueling political realities.

On Tuesday, members of the former January 6 select committee – whose final report concluded that President Donald Trump incited the violence at the Capitol that day – will convene a hearing to reexamine their findings.

As that hearing is underway, members of the far-right Proud Boys – including its former leader Enrique Tarrio, who was serving a 22-year prison term for seditious conspiracy before getting pardoned by Trump last year – are expected to hold a march to the Capitol that they say will be “patriotic and peaceful.”

The day’s split-screen highlights how the January 6 attack has left a political schism in its wake. Many Democrats insist the day is a painful reminder of Trump’s past and ongoing threat to democracy and fair elections, while the president and most Republicans either ignore it or recast the day’s events and diminish the level of violence.

2. It's a festering sore that has become cancerous

It’s what happens if there’s no Justice for the perps. They are free to wreak havoc on our country and abroad. It’s a slow motion judicial/oligarchical coup that is metastasizing. Garland Cannon and Roberts will go down as all time villains that destroyed our experiment in people power.
