BRACK: Wednesday’s insurrection threatened USA as never before

BRACK: Wednesday’s insurrection threatened USA as never before

By Elliott Brack |  Never before have I felt our United States and our democracy so threatened as I felt on Wednesday. The mobs attacking our Capitol were jeopardizing each of us and our sacred way of life, led by a deranged president who urged them on as if leading the charge, though he remained safely tucked  in the White House. The fact that nearly half of the country voted for this lunatic really bothers me.
