• On Jan 6, 2021, Trumpism imploded. Following the general election of Nov 3, 2020, a grassroots movement had staged rallies across the nation to contest the election result, while Trump and his backers mounted a largely farcical parallel legal campaign to overturn it. On January 6, Congress assembled to finalize Joe Biden's election as the forty-sixth US president. For the first time, Trump himself now personally organized and led a rally targeted at overturning the putative electoral result. Urged on by the president, his supporters marched on the US Capitol. Once there, they entered the Capitol building. The Capitol Police were overwhelmed by the massive crowd, and windows were broken to gain access.
