January 6: Will every major US election be followed by riots?

 

A year after the riot at Congress, 30 percent of Americans still believe the 2020 election was a fraud. Can democracy recover?

Even a year later, most Americans cannot agree on what to call the events that took place on January 6, 2021, at the US Capitol.

The Democratic Party and most media call it an “insurrection”, an attempted coup against a democratically elected government. Most Republicans reject that designation, admitting it was foolhardy, but not worthy of exaggeration.
