The sick politics at the heart of this week’s US crisis go deeper than Donald Trump
This week’s insurrection in Washington has been shocking but not at all surprising. It’s part of a long deep unravelling of America.
The angry mobs storming the Capitol building reflect a broken country where tens of millions of people have traded the American dream for American carnage and no longer know what truth is.
American politics, business and media have been complicit in delivering the US to this moment.
The sad scene of a country that billed itself as a beacon of democracy — always contestable anyway — now tearing itself apart has also revealed the hypocrisy of those condemning it.
