@rbreich

I respectfully disagree.

That day is a close second.

The most shameful day was fourty three days later, when Congress (who they *attacked*), acquitted Trump.

@rbreich I’m a hard no on that narrative. Since that certainly infamous and shameful day as well as before it many things even more shameful have happened for which the USA is shamefully accountable.

I don’t think hyperbole helps here. If Jan 6 was the most shameful, then the icestapo’s kidnappings and disappearings are not that bad? The cruel God-King’s very reelection isn’t? The Trail of Tears, Manila campaign, the Zoots, Jim Crow, contragate, the El Salvador death squads weren’t?

@rbreich And the second will be that the midterms 2026 will not take place.

@rbreich I suspect that if you compiled a list of America’s most shameful days, nine of the top ten would be since 2016.
