Wow. A mob of Donald Trump supporters stormed America's Capitol Building in Washington D.C. There have also been protests at state capitols across the country.
The word "capital" is spelled with no "o" and two "a"s. In America "Capitol", spelled with one "o", refers to the building that houses the national or state legislature. So that Washington is the capital of the U.S. and the domed building that houses the legislature is the Capitol.
As I have done so many times before with regard to U.S. politics, I am going to refer to the posting on this blog, "America And The Modern World Explained By Way Of Paris", December 2015.
In that posting we saw that America's Republicans are actually the continuation of the French Bourbon Dynasty, the last king and queen of which were overthrown and guillotined in the French Revolution after earlier giving America diplomatic recognition and helping it to gain independence.
The signature event of the French Revolution, which ended the dynasty that continued in France's ally across the ocean, was the Storming of the Bastille, in Paris.
The Storming of the Capitol could not have been a more perfect reenactment of the Storming of the Bastille. It was actually a reversal of the French Revolution because this time it was the Bourbons ( Republicans ) doing the storming, just as the purpose was to reverse the results of the election.
Can you believe that the protesters in Phoenix even set up a guillotine outside the State Capitol? This is the infamous method of execution that the French Revolutionaries used.
That posting is about the length of a book but it is impossible to really understand U.S. politics without it. Now you can see what I mean.
