Aftermath of January 6th, The Super Spreader of Extremism
On January 6, 2021, a terrorist attack was launched on the U.S Capitol by right wing extremists who sought to “stop the steal”, a slogan adopted to summarize their delusion that the election was fraudulent, and preserve their freedom and other American ideals. Requests for the National Guard to be stationed in the Capitol were made at least days in advance after various intelligence reports detailing the threats for violence were laid out on social media as early as late December of 2020. Despite these threats, the security requests were approved with a low number of National Guard Soldiers (340) who were unarmed and mainly placed there to maintain traffic flow. On the actual day of the insurrection, armed defenses arrived after the breached the doors.
We have all seen the horrific images and videos of self-proclaimed patriots breaking into the Capitol and reverting to their natural state, slinging their own feces, destroying property, looting, and satiating bloodlust only to blame it on everyone and everything but themselves. There are several reasons that this event happened, scapegoating especially, all of which happened at a steady progression over the last four years and came to an inevitable and blatant display of bigotry. We see these events and what caused them, but what is not so clear is the fallout and what is to come in the next few weeks. Speaking from a point of view that comes a little over a month after this event, it is easier to discern the pattern that followed the attack but nothing can be certain in these tumultuous times.
As this article is being written, the solid aftermath is there is currently an impeachment trial for former President Trump on the grounds of inciting violence. Whether or not this demagogue will be held accountable has yet to be determined but the trial has been deemed constitutional and is proceeding forward with video evidence that has not been seen until now. As for the possible realities in the coming weeks, there are two possible scenarios that will be discussed in this article, one of which follows the pattern of a similar historical event that took place in the late 19th century.
The most realistic and favorable outcome is that those involved (inciters and their henchmen) are held accountable and punished accordingly, leaving those who continue to support falsehoods and heresy to confront their perceptions head on. As stated, this is the most favorable outcome and in saying that, it would not happen overnight because working on ones’ deeply held beliefs and negative habits seldom yields immediate results. This would require patience and grace from those willing to continue educating. Unity is acquired through accountability and proper sanctions, meaning that the right’s Facebook posts crying for a more unified America denote more of a need to avoid blame than to actually solve the issues at hand. The irony here that cannot be ignored is that during the summer protests (which occurred for human rights and the right for POC to exist and therefore should NOT be compared to a petty insurrectionist temper tantrum), the far right were calling for mass arrests, less media coverage, and the utmost violence to counteract protesters. Forgiveness and unity only seems to matter when oppressors feel threatened or when abusers feel their hold coming undone. This outcome is likely if Trump is convicted in the ongoing impeachment trial, but the reaction of his supporters could swing anywhere between abandoning their lord and savior or falling deeper into their dangerous delusions. Based on the temperature check on social media, specifically their claims that on March 6th Donald Trump will be inaugurated again, it seems that the latter is more likely.
The least favorable outcome that will likely follow a failure to convict Trump is that this terrorist attack will embolden these extremists and we can expect more violence and cult activity in the future. A lot of social media coverage is comparing this trial to Hitler’s failed coup in 1923 before his return in the Second World War but there is another event akin to the insurrection on January 6th that happened on American soil. The Wilmington Massacre of 1898. This massacre took place in North Carolina, led by white supremacists that resulted in the overthrowing of a biracial government (replacing them with white supremacists), and the death of an estimated 20-300 African Americans with 20 more forced into diaspora. The result of which was that the man who led it, Alfred Moore Waddell, would get a slap on the wrist and left to live the rest of his life continuing to serve as Mayor in Wilmington. Similar to the attack on January 6th, white supremacists blamed everyone (especially POC) for themselves and even went so far as saying this violence was a result of self defense. No examples were made of them, allowing the violence against people of color and blatant discrimination that we see today. These actions have repercussions surfacing hundreds of years after they initially took place, making it more and more evident that we need to demand justice for the attack on democracy January 6th. In the last few years, it has been proven time and time again that there is a double standard in the United States and the aftermath will almost always fall on the backs of minorities to pick up the pieces of a system destroyed in tantrums like this, doing so in hopes of building a better future as true heroes and patriots do.
This last outcome is the worst possible scenario and it’s likely that the reality of the aftermath will fall in some middle ground between these two prospects, therefore it is likely we’ll find ourselves hoping for the best and planning for the worst. Providing that the best scenario happens, we will not be ending the battle but taking one step into progressing toward a reality of America that EVERY American can be proud of, not just the old, rich, white Americans.
