“Storming the Capitol: Democracy on the Edge”
Blog Article
January 6th, 2021.
A date carved in disbelief.
The Capitol—
a symbol of democracy,
a building older than most nations—
was breached.
Windows shattered.
Flags twisted.
Chants filled chambers
meant for debate,
not destruction.
It felt impossible.
Until it wasn’t.
People in costumes.
People in armor.
People with rage
and phones recording history
as it unraveled.
Lawmakers hid under desks.
Capitol police fought with fists.
And somewhere,
a nation realized
just how fragile democracy really is.
Not in theory—
but in glass.
And breath.
And blood.
Like watching the table flip at 우리카지노,
where the game ends
not with a winner—
but with wreckage.
And yet—
even in chaos,
the process held.
Congress reconvened.
Oaths were taken.
And though the scars remain,
so does the structure.
But the questions linger.
What do we believe in?
Who do we trust?
And how do we repair
what so many tried to tear?
Kind of like the fragile calm inside 안전한카지노,
where healing isn’t easy—
but it starts
by showing up again.
