Nearly a year after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, a strong majority of Americans condemn it and believe former President Donald Trump is at least partially to blame. But partisan splits have hardened over time, with Republicans still largely backing Trump's version of events, a new ABC/Ipsos poll finds.
An overwhelming majority (72%) of Americans believe the people involved in the attack on the Capitol were "threatening democracy," while 1 in 4 Americans believes that the individuals involved were "protecting democracy." Broken down by party identification, Democrats are nearly unanimous (96%) in believing that those involved in the attacks were threatening democracy. Republicans are more split, with 45% saying it was a threat and 52% saying those involved in the riot were "protecting democracy."

When Trump took office, he said "Don't believe what you see or hear...believe only what I tell you to believe." Too many have done just that, and continue to do it. How otherwise reasonable people can ignore the video and audio evidence of what happened on January 6th, as well as the testimony and statements of many who took part in it, is beyond me. When a person tells me to believe nobody but them....I know that a lie, or a stream of lies, is what that person will be coming forth with in short order. Frankly, those are the words you hear spoken by a con man.
