A Jan. 6-style attack is not the only way democracy can fail

^{Published on 2025-01-06 08:20:44 - MSN}

The violent attack on the Capitol was just an extension of a legal and political effort to overturn a democratic election.

The article from MSN discusses how former President Donald Trump's efforts to undermine democracy began well before the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot and were often conducted out of the public eye. It highlights Trump's consistent pattern of behavior, including his refusal to accept the 2020 election results, his pressure on state officials to "find votes," and his attempts to influence the Justice Department to support his false claims of election fraud. The piece also mentions Trump's broader strategy of attacking democratic institutions, such as the judiciary and the media, which he labeled as "enemies of the people." These actions, according to the article, were part of a calculated campaign to erode trust in democratic processes and institutions, setting the stage for the events of January 6. The narrative underscores that Trump's assault on democracy was not a spontaneous reaction but a deliberate, ongoing strategy.
