Trump failed.

US President Donald Trump asserted for months, without evidence, that he could not be defeated in a fair election.

The President pressured officials to overturn their states’ votes.

He incited an assault on the Capitol, in order to pressure Congress into doing so.

In brief, Trump attempted a coup.

The US is not a majoritarian polity.

As Yale’s Timothy Snyder asserts: “Post-truth is pre-fascism, and Trump has been our post-truth president.” If truth is subjective, force must decide.

The role of the right-wing media bubble in creating the post-truth world of Trumpism is evident.

The fanatics and careerists will continue to combine?

Mr Trump has shown the way.

Moreover, after his attempted coup, nobody can deny his threat was real.

If US politics unfolds as seems likely, there will be more Trumps.

The US republic has survived the test of Trump.

In a farewell video, President Trump said he did what he came to do, and more; Mitch McConnell blames Trump for Capitol riot; US virus death toll tops 400,000.
