January 6, 2020 was a date that will live in infamy. The insurrection at the center of the nation’s democratic government was carried out by right-wing hate groups, but was set in motion by the President of the United States. The motion did not begin on January 6. It began years ago. However, when Trump and his accomplishers gave marching orders to the thousands, they rushed to the Capitol and attacked. Meanwhile, Trump was safely in the Oval Office cheering as he watched the anarchy unfold. This is an article republished from The Conversation under Creative Commons license.

Donald Trump is the most dangerous person in the United States right now. And he’s the President. The insurrection that erupted yesterday in our nation’s capitol was planned and resulted in a sacking of the U.S. Capitol Building

Donald Trump, President of the United States has caused a violent insurrection on the grounds of the capitol. It is a stunning scene. Protestors broke into Nancy Pelosi’s office and were photographed sitting at the Speakers chair. He left a note on a manilla folder with the words, “we will not back down.”

Donald Trump has caused a violent protest that has resulted in the storming of the U.S. Capitol. Hundreds of people storming the building have driven members of Congress and the Vice-President to be evacuated from the Capitol. The protestors, encouraged by Trump, have taken over the capitol. It’s dangerous. And looking at the scene, not only is it dangerous, but I was shocked to see how unprepared law enforcement was to deal this Trump protest and rally. Thousands of people have surrounded the U.S. Capitol, and many have broken into the building and reached the Senate chamber.

The Trump-Raffensperger phone call was another attempt by Trump to overturn Georgia’s presidential election which was won by Joe Biden by 11,780 votes. Georgia’s election was counted three times, and the results were the same. Joe Biden beat Donald Trump. Now, Trump wants Raffensperger to find at least 11,781 votes. Raffensperger politely told Trump that he has the wrong data, and he lost the election. Trump threatened Raffensperger and called him a child for not knowing what the correct election results were.

Donald Trump is engaged in an effort to steal the 2020 election from Joe Biden, the certified winner and now President-Elect. He is staging a kind of coup and has mobilized other Republicans to either agree with him, and stay silent.

There was a blue wave in the 2020 Presidential election. However, it didn’t happen as many people expected. For various reasons, Donald Trump created the second blue wave because of his failed response to the COVID-19 pandemic. His failure to act decisively, and use the science that was available to him and his administration created a fracture amongst the American people. But all of this cost him the election. He claimed years ago that the election was going to rigged. He told his crowds around the country that vote-by-mail would be fraudulent and he thereby encouraged his followers not to use the mail to vote. Citizens of the U.S. knew they could vote by mail. And they did and helped elect Joe and Kamala.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg established an environmental legacy second to none on the Supreme Court. I’ve explored her legacy by examining a few of her important environmental cases. It meant reading some of her opinions written on key environmental cases over the past 20 years.
