As the anniversary of the January 6 Capitol riots approaches, supporters of former President Donald Trump continue to frame the rioters as political victims. Despite long sentences for many involved, Trump has portrayed them as martyrs during his political rallies, appealing to his base. While former Congresswoman Liz Cheney faces criticism within her party for holding Trump accountable, current polls indicate that a significant majority of Trump’s supporters approve of his promise to pardon the defendants. The upcoming Congress session is set to proceed without dissent from Democrats regarding the election result.
