Yahoo News reported:
Nine in 10 Americans oppose the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, seven in 10 say Donald Trump bears at least some responsibility for it and a majority in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll – 56% – favors efforts in Congress to bar him from holding elected office again.
Fifty-four percent in the national survey also say Trump should be charged criminally with inciting a riot for having encouraged his supporters to march on the Capitol. More, 66%, say he has behaved irresponsibly, more broadly, in his statements and actions since the election.
Brand new Congresswoman Boebert tweeted the 1776 code word used in planning the attack, which targeted elected members for capture and assassination.
January 6th was the day Trump incited a violent insurrection targeting Congress as it undertook duties specified in the U.S. Constitution (adopted June 21, 1788). The Constitutional Convention went from May 14 to September 17, 1787 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Many members of Congress fueled the flames of Trump's outright lies and distortions. However, Rep. Boebert tweeted the code word for violent insurrection. Six people, two of whom were Capital Police officers, died as a direct result of the insurrection.
Update 1-16-21:
Other 1776 inciters include Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R_NC) and InfoWars Alex Jones.

An arm of the Republican Attorneys General Association, a national group representing the top law enforcement officers in their states, sent out robocalls encouraging people to march to the U.S. Capitol the day before the building was stormed by a pro-Trump mob.
“At 1 p.m., we will march to the Capitol building and call on Congress to stop the steal,” said the voice on the recording.
Texas AG Ken Paxton spoke at Trump's Save America warmup to insurrection the morning of Jan.6. Paxton said "We will not quit fighting.”
Update 1-19-21: Trump's words that day are worth the read. There is nothing perfect about them.
Update 1-31-21: Red team fealty to Trump remains strong. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was summoned by the Wizard of Ego. Republicans apply Cancel Culture to Representatives who voted to impeach President Trump.
Update 2-6-21: Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe that Trump bears at least a moderate amount of responsibility for the breach of the U.S. Capitol, including half who say he bears a great deal or quite a bit.
Add Trump dirty trickster Roger Stone to the list of inciters:
The day of the riot Stone met with members of the group Oath Keepers, several of whom have been charged with conspiracy in planning the Capital attack.“This is nothing less than an epic struggle for the future of this country between Dark and Light, between the godly and the godless, between Good and Evil,” Stone bellowed to the crowd on January 5. “And we will win this fight—or America will step off into a thousand years of darkness. We dare not fail!”
“I will be with you tomorrow—shoulder to shoulder!” he added.
Longtime Donald Trump confidant Roger Stone was captured on a video obtained by ABC News flanked by members of the right-wing extremist Oath Keepers the morning of the storming of Capitol that cost five lives.
Update 2-10-21: Politico has a list of all the speakers at Trump's Save America Rally on January 6th.
Update 2-24-21: It was bizarre watching Capital riot inciters Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley question law ad order officials regarding the events on Jan. 6th.
Update 3-4-21: As a horrified nation watched the Capital insurrection President Donald Trump cheered, while his Pentagon appointees sat on their hands for over 3 hours.
Pentagon officials did not answer a request to deploy troops during the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 for more than three hours, the commanding general of the D.C. National Guard testified Wednesday.
“Immediately after the 1:49 p.m. call with Chief Sund, I alerted the Army Senior Leadership of the request,” Walker said. “The approval for Chief Sund’s request would eventually come from the Acting Secretary of Defense and be relayed to me by Army Senior Leaders at 5:08 p.m. — three hours and 19 minutes later.”
Donald Trump's will was done.
Update 3-8-21: Senator Ted Cruz's CPAC event was wild. He was the opening act for El Jefe's stream of consciousness grievance listing.
Update 3-17-21: Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) tried to redefine Trump's middle aged wilding. Johnson described the largely white pro-Trump rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 as people who "truly respect law enforcement" and "loved this country." Complete horse hockey. The Trump cult wanted their way. That's not democratic.
Update 3-20-21: Former President George W. Bush said that the Capitol riot left him sick to his stomach, and he branded the followers of President Donald Trump who stormed the building "hostile forces."
Update 3-30-21: The mother of Capital Hill Policeman Michael Fanone said this of Trump's enablers. “For me to say anything to Trump would be — it wouldn’t matter because he just can’t hear. It’s all the other people that are so complicit in this. That’s who I would speak to,” Fanone said. “How dare you? How dare you? How dare you take advantage of these people who were defending and fighting for their lives that day, to save these people, preserve democracy, civility, to restore the Capitol to what it’s supposed to be? Where are you? With all of these officers stood with you, why don’t you stand with them?”
Update 4-2-21: Two U.S. Capitol Police officers have filed a federal lawsuit against former President Donald Trump that blames him for physical and emotional injuries they sustained during the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
The lawsuit lays the blame on Trump by outlining the then-president’s efforts to deny and overturn Joe Biden’s election victory. Trump repeatedly told his supporters on Twitter and elsewhere that ballots had been tossed out and fraudulently cast for his opponent, though there was no evidence of widespread election fraud.
Update 1-13-22: Red Team members refuse to cooperate with the Jan. 6th Committee.
Rep. Liz Cheney said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was trying to "cover up" what happened at the Capitol riot by refusing to work with the House committee investigating it.
How deep is the rabbit hole? The public has no right to know.
Update 5-29-22: Trump called the insurrection "a hoax" at a Wyoming rally. Seven people died as a result of Trump's right wing middle-aged wilding.
Update 6-11-22: Riot inciter Senator Ted Cruz said he'd rather comb his hair than watch the January 6th Committee hearings. I suggest he do just that as he is likely to be in footage showing those who incited the insurrection. Revolting Ted.
Update 8-14-22: The Red Team "once stood staunchly for law-and-order has dramatically reversed course, stirring up opposition to the FBI and tapping into political grievances and far-right conspiracies that fed the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Escalating rhetoric comes amid stark warnings of violence against law enforcement."
Update 8-30-22: Next round of Jan. 6ths is encouraged by Senator Lindsey Graham:
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on Sunday that if former President Donald Trump is prosecuted, there will be “riots in the streets.”
Tea Party, 1776 ....
Update 3-26-23: Trump's dangerous "lie filled" rhetoric could easily incite more violence.
Update 4-4-23: Trump's lawyer stated before Donald's indictment that Monday was like the "eve of destruction."
Update 10-17-23: Insane Red Jim Jordan is up for Speaker of the House. Jordan helped plan the January 6th insurrection.
