In response, Trump superfans rioted their way into the Capitol building, Trump’s vice president was threatened with lynching while much of Congress hid from the mob in fear for their lives, and then Republicans largely coalesced around Trump and his stolen-election lies.

In the immediate aftermath of the 6 January attack, McCarthy had said that Trump “bears responsibility” for the mob violence and recommended that Congress formally censure him for his conduct.

“He shouldn’t have been hurt by the mob. Do not get me wrong,” Allred said, as the crowd inside the theater auditorium jeered.

“He was pretty sensitive and empathetic. I would look at him and he would look at me and I wasn’t just a face in the mob — I was a person too.”

But there is also no way to exit the system, unless you want to belong to the mob of anarchy that is the opposition to order.
