"Donald Trump's November 2015 electoral victory was, to many, ominously validated by four years of demagogy, presidential name-calling, and-ten months into a pandemic-an incitement to violence that led a mob of thousands to descend on the Capitol in Washington, DC. Fueled by suspicion, conspiracy, and bigotry, a faction of Americans had decided to seize control.
