Rachel Maddow: "As best as I can tell, President Trump thinks [Wednesday] was a win."

[When Democrats Turn Out] {NAME}, We wanted to share with you what Rachel Maddow said just a day after the attempted coup. Because her words are so powerful, we hope you’ll read each and every one of them: Rachel Maddow: “As best as I can tell, President Trump thinks [Wednesday] was a win. His supporters pulled off a violent, armed insurrection, attacking the US Capitol, and then they all just walked away to go tell their war stories about it and brag about it. “The president offended some of the more norms-respecting members of his party, maybe, but he loves that! He’s not out there to win everybody to his side, he’s out to destroy the norms of democratic governance so they don’t exist anymore so he can run the country without them. The more he and his movement make enemies of those who still respect democratic norms, the cleaner the fight is for him. “After the rioting and the attack on the Capitol [Wednesday], eight Republican senators last night -- eight! -- still voted to defy the results of the presidential election and continue nursing and stoking this fantasy grievance that Joe Biden didn’t really win and somehow Trump must still be declared the winner. Eight Republican senators! “And a huge majority of Republicans in the House. Republicans in the House voted for the conspiracy theories and the grievance by a nearly 2 to 1 margin, including the number one and number two House Republicans, Kevin McCarthy and Representative Scalise. “[Wednesday] was a win for the violent insurrectionism that is now the apex of the Republican Party. And the biggest disappointment for the president’s supporters appears to be fear of missing out -- regret that they weren’t there if they weren’t there, regret that they didn’t go farther if they were, regret that they didn’t do similar damage in other parts of the country.” We cannot thank Rachel Maddow enough for her insight during these unprecedented times. She’s given us a lot to think about -- please, join the conversation and tell us now: Do you agree with Rachel Maddow? [YES]( [NO]( Thank you for all that you’re doing in this challenging moment.
