De bestorming van het Capitol – dieptepunt na 5 jaar Donald Trump (update 16 januari)

Op 6 januari 2021 bestormden honderden Trump-aanhangers het Capitool in de VS, het dieptepunt en resultaat van vijf jaar van ondermijning van de democratie door president Trump en zijn aanhangers. Dit kan er gebeuren wanneer een politieke partij vijf jaar lang in situaties waarin telkens opnieuw normen en wetten worden overschreden, blijft zwijgen. Hier vindt u een update van berichten en eigen columns, in het kader van het burgerschapsagenda van het beroepsonderwijs. Motto: Democratie is kwetsbaar en niet vanzelfsprekend!

• Democracy under siege CBS News 10 jan 2021 | "We can now add January 6, 2021 to that very short list of dates in American history that will live forever in infamy," said Democratic Senator Charles Schumer. Just how will history record this day? Was it a riot? Domestic terrorism? An insurrection? Our best hope is that it's at least a turning point. The symbol of our democracy shuddered under the pounding. Those watching at home shuddered, too. The extremists brought Confederate flags, nooses, body armor, and zip-ties for handcuffs.

• The Bitter Fruits of Trump’s White-Power Presidency The New Yorker 12 jan 2021 | By Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor The events of January 6th make clear a growing unity between the Republican Party and white supremacists. The spectacular violence in the Capitol on January 6th was the outcome of Donald Trump’s yearslong dalliance with the white-supremacist right. Trump all but promised an attack of some kind as he called for his followers to descend on Washington, D.C., for a “wild” protest to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory. In a speech inciting his supporters to lay siege to the Capitol, he told them, “We will never give up. We will never concede.” He encouraged them to “fight like hell,” saying that otherwise they would lose their country, and dispatched them to the Capitol. He promised that he would be with them. But, like a lazy coward, Trump went home to watch the show on TV.
