"Three Years On: The Lingering Impact and Debate Over the January 6 Capitol Event"

TL;DR Summary
Robert Reich reflects on the January 6 Capitol attack, emphasizing five points: Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, his incitement of the Capitol riot, the ongoing influence of his claims on the Republican party, the lack of accountability for his actions, and the potential implications for American democracy. Reich argues that Trump's refusal to concede, his promotion of election fraud narratives, and his hold over the GOP pose a continued threat to the integrity of U.S. democratic processes, with the 2024 election being a critical juncture for holding him accountable.
