Reporter Sarah D. Wire’s first-person account of the U.S. Capitol riot had me reliving the terror, disbelief and disgust that many Americans experienced on Jan. 6, 2021.

I say “many” because — impossible as it sounds — a large number of this country’s citizens do not believe what took place was an actual coup-driven attack on the seat of our nation’s democracy.

Meanwhile, a few pages away in a photo appearing in the same day’s newspaper, there he sits, the man responsible, as if he were a normal politician and candidate running for president.

It is beyond comprehension that people can continue to ignore or dispute the events of Jan. 6, let alone support an insurrectionist for office

Inside the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection

Three years ago, Times reporter Sarah D. Wire wrote about her experience inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Now, with the aid of surveillance footage recently made available by the House and additional firsthand accounts, Wire provides a more expansive view of that day.

I ask his supporters, if they engage me, whether they know wrong from right.

It's literally that simple. Has Trump done more wrong than right? The constant lying should be enough for any reasoned thinking to draw a conclusion.

But I guess that's the thing. They aren't thinking. They are CHOOSING wrong and lie over good and fact.

You couldn't pay me enough to vote for any GOP person. Not one.

@cdarwin when people really want to believe something they do. Trump is a plasibo to people because he says all of the touch points they believe in so they're willing to not see the truth because they are blind to it. Trump is a cult and something has to happen to break that bond.
