In planning our coverage for the anniversary of the storming of the Capitol, I felt that what Times Opinion could bring to bear was sharp arguments about the confluence of factors that created the environment in which the 6th was possible and about what it augured. Which is to say, we wanted to place Jan. 6 in context. If the storming of the Capitol was a symptom, then what is the diagnosis of and prognosis for the underlying disorder? No piece in this collection of essays aims to be entirely comprehensive; they represent a range of perspectives on Jan. 6 that sometimes overlap with and contradict one another.
