Οι χθεσινές σκηνές από τη Γουόσινγκτον έμοιαζαν με κακογραμμένο θρίλερ δράσης. Οπλισμένοι οπαδοί του Προέδρου Ντόναλντ Τραμπ εισέβαλαν στο Καπιτώλιο στη διάρκεια συνεδρίασης του Κογκρέσου, απαιτώντας, με την παρότρυνση του Προέδρου (για πραξικόπημα, άλλωστε, μιλούν τα media), τη μη επικύρωση των εκλογικών αποτελεσμάτων. Το αποτέλεσμα ήταν τέσσερις νεκροί από πυροβολισμούς, τραυματίες, υλικές καταστροφές και μια ανεξάντλητη αίσθηση ντροπής για μια δημοκρατική χώρα.

Από τον Σάσα Μπάρον Κόεν που καλεί το Twitter και τους υπόλοιπους κολοσσούς των social media ν' απαγορεύσουν στον Πρόεδρο Τραμπ την πρόσβαση (το Twitter ήδη το εφάρμοσε για 12 ημέρες), μέχρι τον Τζέιμς Μάνγκολντ που ζήτησε μποϋκοτάζ στο Fox, το ρεπουμπλικανικό τηλεοπτικό δίκτυο ενημέρωσης, ως υπεύθυνο για την πρόκληση της επίθεσης, οι άνθρωποι του αμερικανικού entertainment - όπως, φυσικά κι ο επερχόμενος Πρόεδρος Τζο Μπάιντεν - αντιδρούν, προσπαθώντας, ταυτόχρονα, να χωνέψουν αυτό που συνέβη.

Hey Mark Zuckerberg, @jack, @SusanWojcicki and @sundarpichai -- Donald Trump just incited a violent attack on American democracy.

Is that FINALLY enough for you to act?!
It's time to ban Donald Trump from your platforms once and for all! pic.twitter.com/4oWoiMu0eC
No, Peanut. They are not Patriots. They are your flying monkeys,homegrown terrorists, QAnon actors. They are the douchebags that go out and do the evil bidding of people like you who like to wind them up like toys and let them do their worst. #keepingYourFilthyHandsclean #enabler

Watching lawlessness in our capitol — thugs supporting a coup — & deeply saddened. The Murdochs have inflicted so much racism, sexism, virulent lies & damage to our nation. Fellow content makers, we must cancel appearances on Fox & use our power to keep ads 4 our shows off Fox.

On behalf of America @jack and @twitter you need to pull the chord on him now. He can't have this platform anymore. Don't be complicit in the violence he is instigating. Anyone out there want to co-sign?

I was chased and run through tear gas demonstrating against the war in the 70s. What the police DIDN’T do today was shocking. They sure were ready during the BLM demos which was peaceful

Not “supporters”. Not “rioters”. The word is “terrorists”. https://t.co/xfbAUWUbae

NY State needs to prosecute Donald Trump for all the crimes we would go to jail for if we committed them. He is a menace who should not be allowed to live freely and destroy our country.
— Judd Apatow (@JuddApatow) January 6, 2021
The only thing that might stop this is for Donald Trump to concede the election.

LOOK AT THIS.
In another scenario there would be black bodies on the floor.#CoupAttempt pic.twitter.com/ECaUyrRym2
Trump terrorist mob has now entered and taken over Senate chamber. Glass on doors to House chamber broken. I am communicating with a Member who is inside and taking cover. One thing seems clear: This isn’t random. It was planned. No police presence to stop it.The coup is underway

Imagine if this was our side. There would be rivers of our blood in the streets and not a single one of us would be armed. This has been allowed. #CoupAttempt
