Discuss whether or not you believe that the insurrection at the Capitol building in Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021 was foreseeable in light of the political divisions that existed and grew during the Trump presidency.
Do you believe that Donald Trump's rejection of the 2020 election results was a threat to democracy in the United States? Explain.
In the film we are told that most Republicans continue to believe that the 2020 election was "stolen". Why do you think this is true, despite evidence to the contrary? What does this mean for the 2024 election?
