Inside the Capitol, reminders of the violence are increasingly hard to find.

Scars on the walls have been repaired. Windows and doors broken by the rioters have been replaced. And there is no plaque, display or remembrance of any kind.

Lawmakers rarely mention the attack, and many Republicans try to downplay it, echoing President-elect Donald Trump’s claims that the carnage of that day is overblown and that the rioters are victims.

      Pretty safe to assume that half or more of the people who didn’t vote would have voted for Trump if they did vote.

      • Suppose I set up a sample tasting stand with ‘Unflavored Jello’ and ‘Vomit Flavored Jello’

        No one should be surprised when a significant portion of passersby don’t stop to taste either

        Suppose half of the people who do stop to taste choose the vomit flavor

        It wouldn’t make sense for me to say:

        Statistically speaking, half the people you interact with every day would eat vomit flavored Jello


        Anecdotally, everyone I know who didn’t vote has nothing but bad things to say about Trump
