That's awful. I'm assuming it will be easily replaced. The reputation of those who destroyed it on the other hand...they are heroes among their demented crowd.

I hope we never hear about trump again, but I am sure that isn't going to happen.
Well, he's now permanently banned from Twitter and Facebook. Hopefully both sites will consider banning anyone who spouts the same unsupported nonsense he did about election fraud.

And literally no one else. I heard some were arrested. Hopefully those vandals were among them. They can do hard jail time. What their sympathizers think isn't important. Besides, that guy who shot himself in a very bad place as a result of the dumbest pro-gun protest I've ever heard of is also heralded as a hero among his demented crowd. We're not exactly talking about people of intelligence here.

That crowd is close to a third of the country though.

The trouble is, even though many have dropped him like a hot potato, due to the Capitol incident, he will still have a large following, and that will still give him some political clout.
He is also talking about his own media network.
We won't see the last of him.
Let us hope his interference won't be in politics, but I wouldn't bet your left testicle on that.

True. I do hope impeachment succeeds because that would permanently bar him from the Oval Office. But, he's already started a cult. He may as well make it official. Trump Town? At least with his own media network only Trump supporters have to hear anything he has to say, so it won't annoy the rest of us. But, that would be enough to get his followers to continue to go down the same rabbit hole of madness he has been spiraling down for years.
As long as Trumpists keep their religion to themselves they can do what they want, as far as I'm concerned. If they engage in any more extremist behaviour, hopefully more arrests will be made.

For the good of America, I certainly hope so.
I want America to be strong, also, for Australia's sake.

You want to bring in reverse McCarthyism ?
99% of people Joe Mcarthy locked up were not political nor anti-American.
Pretty sure the 45% mentioned in this thread are calling for doing something anti-democracy and anti-American.

Well, that 1/3 of the country has their work cut out for them if they want future elections to go their way. Democrat voters aren't going to get complacent anytime soon like they did in 2016. I guess the US can cross that bridge in another four years, and to an extent, in two. In the meantime, that 1/3 can enjoy whatever comes out of a Democrat controlled House, Senate and Oval Office.

They control numerous state level governments, the courts and have been working to weave their anti-democratic tendencies into government on all levels for decades. Don't celebrate like the Death Star just got blown up unless you also remember there's two more movies to go before it even looks like you've won.

that crowd is not gonna just fade back into the woodwork and pretend innocence by saying "i just had no idea" (what a lot of crypto-nazis said to defend themselves after hitler was out), they will continue to proudly, and with malice aforethought, make mischief or worse.

45% is generous. It's probably 100%.
Somebody correct me if I am wrong but among some of the hoodlums and thugs were actual elected members of the Republican party caught on camera breaking into the capitol building. I assume they will also be arrested and fired from the GOP for making an awful decision and on camera .
