Calvary is the anguish of the American psyche leading up to and following the January 6th Insur-rection. Four years of despotic leadership under a would be king in Donald Trump had ended and new President’s election was to be certified. But a nation was traumatized by a near death experience that day. A country so weakened and divided that it nearly imploded. A gallows erected on the National Mall beyond the Peace Circle and the Capitol steps a contemporary cross for the American Experiment. Our democracy was held in the dirty hands of stupid and malleable mob easily goaded by Donald Trump into nearly destroying the freedom they so sav-agely clamored for while the most powerful nation on earth watched helplessly, unable to pre-vent what would have been the last and greatest crisis in the country’s young history. Had Trump not called the mob to disperse, there would have been much more blood then there was that day, and a new and much darker America would have formed as a result. There but for the grace of god go we.
