Instead of amplifying right wing fear and theatre of the mob, this thread should illuminate the good things that happen (or not) in US politics that improves our lives. Fear, shock or outrages are con games that are tiresome. There will still be fear that good things may not succeed but at least that is a good fear. That is not to say chronicaling the Trump insurrection plot and effects have dire importance but the good guys deserve credit for good works.   
Militias or cabals be damned like Brexit, Texit, insurrectionist or successionist politics embedded in our society by Putin - its all over rated. I would rather brag about fixing a pothole than complain. Who knows maybe thread drift will be about cats or about the coming Taiwan China war? Anyway here is a pocket for anything that feels like political odds and ends.

All politics are local. Who said this first?
