How it's Going:
"Rep. Madison Cawthorn faces a House Ethics investigation" (May 23, 2022)
Rep. Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C., is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee, which will determine whether the freshman lawmaker violated rules by promoting a cryptocurrency while having a personal financial interest invested and engaged "in an improper relationship" with a member of his staff.
The move comes less than a week after Cawthorn was defeated in the North Carolina Republican primary following weeks of scandals that resulted in backlash from Capitol Hill Republicans. ...

How it started:
"Who is Madison Cawthorn?" (June 24, 2020)
... Cawthorn campaigned as "pro-Trump, pro-life and pro-Second Amendment" and emphasized his family's deep roots in the state, which he said goes back to the Revolutionary War.
"I'm a millennial. I represent an emerging generation of Americans who are tomorrow's leaders, most of whom think that Republicans don't care about the disenfranchised, the hurting and those less fortunate. But nothing could be farther from the truth," Cawthorn said in a campaign video. ...
Digging through NPR's archives for the first substantive coverage of Cawthorn.

In the "whatever happened to dept.", I looked up old Vic's twitter profile
Vic Gundotra led the Google+ effort at Google, and famously left the company in April, 2014. He subsequently had a stint as CEO of AliveCor, a position he left "for personal reasons" in January of 2019.
Vic joined Twitter in 2015. Through his term at AliveCor, the thread was the standard anodyne tech-leader stuff, vaguely but noncommittally leftish politics on occasion, but mostly tecch promotions and occasional photography and light fare.
On 27 October 2019, he reshares a Sean Spicer tweet, and since that time, Gundotra's feed has heavily featured other alt-right and fascist commentators and propaganda. Convicted felon Dinesh D'Souza, discredited disinformation site Zerohedge, seditionist Ted Cruz. Al-tright / white nationalist / Nazi / fascist: Daily Caller, Laura Ingraham, Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Andy Ngo. Jim Jordan, Trump War Room, Ben Shapiro, Brad Parscale, Washington Examiner.
True colours, they say.

Following the January 6 Coup incited by the President, my most immediate concern is that the US is effectively leaderless
This at a time leadership is desperately needed.
Cabinet and other Administration officials are resigning or acting independently. Numerous agencies are operating under acting heads and other senior positions, many installed since the election, including DoJ and DoD.
The Vice President ordered deployment of the National Guard, and the Military complied, despite the office being entirely outside military command. The order and response, though the right ones, were entirely outside legal authority.
Military allegiances appear in at least part divided, though generally alligned with Nation and Constitution, rather than the Person of the President.
Law enforcement allegiances are much more dubious, and general uncertainty widespread.
Numerous members of the Legislature, though not leadership, remain seditiously alligned with the Person, rather than Office, of the President.
Integrity of the Secret Service is openly questioned.
Trust and integrity of the Executive branch are in question.
The current President of the United States is the country's greatest national security risk, a fact openly acknowledged.
Should further external or internal threats emerge the nation is in immediate peril. Capability to assess and act in the Nation's are disrupted.
A 25th amendment removal, even if followed by a post-term impeachment, would address that lack. Failure to remove a clear and present danger, or obstruction of same, are themselves abdication of responsibility aiding the insurrection, itself impeachable.

January 6 Coup: Fascinatingly, the Defense Department is referring to Wednesday’s pro-Trump riot as “the January 6, 2021 1st Amendment Protests.”
To be precise, and as others have pointed out, this is a memo issued by the office of the acting Defense Secretary, the fifth person appointed by President Trump to lead the Department of Defense.

Christopher C. Miller specifically.
The 1A language comes from a letter by DC Mayor written on December 31 requesting aid, on account that:
[T]hese demonstrations will follow similar events on November 4, 2020 and December 12, 2020, which resulted in a large influx of participants, violence and criminal activity.

Remember: History is written by the winners.
DO. NOT. LET. THESE. LOSERS. WIN.

And sometimes their eyes open, if but briefly
One of the alt-right hangers-on on Diaspora, @Robbie, ... sees an inconsistancy and begins to wonder, if but for a moment:
Mike #Pence is probably the most honorable man in politics. He simply did not agree with the President #Trump that “the VP can single-handedly reject the Electoral College votes.” Pence followed the #Constitution and Trump betrayed him. I’m really surprised and disappointed to see so many people attacking Mike Pence, who has served with uncompromising devotion to #God and the Constitution of the United States.

Robbie follows up with:
Really. It’s like they treated Christ in Jerusalem: Hosanna one day and Crucify him! the next day. I hate to see otherwise sane, thinking people act like that.
Naturally the rest of that small group immediately attempt to steer him to the New Orthodoxy, most especially ringleader @Theaitetos (テアイテトス)
Robbie, trust your gut, your memory, and the evidence of your own eyes here. And ask yourself what it is your "friends" here are telling you, and why. And trust that they'll crucify you just as they did Christ and Pence should they realise they've lost you to their lie.
What you are experiencing right now is Revelation. Enlightenment. And it is painful:
Make no mistake about it -- enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or becoming happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It's seeing through the facade of pretense. It's the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.
I'm unable to comment on the post. Others might care to, and I suggest they do, sharing this link.
How do we encourage moments of lucidity? Because we'll likely see more of them.
