Three years after the January 6 Capitol Riot shook America, political divisions have deepened, raising alarms about the state of democracy. 🔥 A recent AP-NORC poll reveals 48% of Americans think democracy isn’t working well, while 23% now condone political violence—a trend that’s growing as the 2024 election looms. 💥
A Divided Nation
Investigative reporter Peter Eisler describes today’s politics as a battleground where opponents are labeled 'traitors' instead of debated. The chaos isn’t just rhetoric: Congress passed only 27 laws in 2023, while Biden and Trump face unprecedented challenges. 🏛️
Election Turmoil
Trump’s eligibility for 2024 is in question after Colorado and Maine barred him over the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause. Meanwhile, House Republicans launched an impeachment inquiry against Biden, criticized as a political stunt. As Rep. Troy Nehls put it: 'Donald J. Trump 2024, baby.'
Breaking Point?
Experts like Brookings’ Darrell West warn that January 6 exposed systemic flaws: hyper-partisanship, distrust in institutions, and a Congress more focused on drama than governance. With Biden’s approval at 38.9% and Trump battling legal hurdles, 2024 could test democracy like never before. 🗳️
As America gears up for another election, one question lingers: Can the nation heal, or will history repeat itself? 🤔
