I didn’t spend a lot of time talking about what happened on January 6th. It was a travesty and I’m not interested in efforts by anyone to defend it. But with more data now coming from research into the people who were involved, it raises a question about how likely something similar may be in the future. Bob Pape is the man behind this research and his conclusions are fascinating and somewhat frightening.
