Dumb and Dumber Go To Washington

This is a fairly straightforward record of the events of January 6, pieced together from a variety of sources and narrated by interviews with those who were there - rioters, police, reporters, politicians. The film doesn't really reveal anything new or surprising about January 6, but it does serve as a revealing record of possibly the dumbest insurrection in history. They stormed the Capitol with no real plan - just because Trump told them to. Some believed the election had been rigged or stolen, but they had zero evidence, and had ignored all the evidence that there was no irregularity, no "steal". Some spout dopey beliefs about children being kidnaped and tortured, again with no evidence. Once inside the Capitol, they take selfies, smoke weed, wander aimlessly and are led away from the Senate chamber by one wily security officer - because they were too dumb to even check the layout of the building before storming it. Ultimately, they achieved nothing, other than shaming themselves and their nation. All in all, it's a wonder these yokels managed to catch the right bus or train, or take the right freeway to get to Washington in the first place. Yes, the US is deeply divided, and those divisions led to the insurrection, riot, attempted coup, or whatever you want to call it. But the US needs to face the fact that - besides being a nation divided - this was an insurrection born of rank stupidity.

The Republic teeters

If, in a country of several hundred million, a few thousand fiercely dispute the legitimacy of the government, you might think the country isn't actually doing too badly. But a few thousand people, if sufficiently determined, can do a whole lot of damage. But orderly government is usually possible because the dissenters understand the futility of trying to force their way. But Donald Trump, an incumbent President who lost his re-election, proceded to tell his followers the election had been stolen and moreover, that they could do something about it. Eventually, some of them violently stormed the U. S. legislature. This documentary shows what happened. On one hand, it shows just a little of the context: we see Trump's last speach to the rioters, but not how he tried to persistently de-ligitimise the election result. We also get a lot of interviews with the rioters themselves, who are allowed to self-justify at excessive length. But we do also get a lot of film of the event, which shows clearly the true horror of what unfolded. However much the protesters claim to have simply been exerting their rights, it's clear that their actions, whatever their individual motivations, amounted in total to a full-on attack on the U. S. government. In the end, order was restored, but Trump was never held to account. And the worrying thing is that tyrants have throughout history seized power through the incitement of the mob. It's hard to avoid concluding that the modern Republican party has not decided to take the side of tyranny over democracy, which does not bode at all well for the future.

either left or right...

This is one of the best documentaries made till now this century, the sheer madness and desperation at both poles are really smittening, and laying on the couch watching this was far away from relaxing.

Like playing the game of ''we'll push right through,whatever we may pushing on'', like me and my class mate did in the schoolyard 1970's at norheim skole where just laughingly similar to what happened here.

I feel deep sorrow for all the people that lost someone on the force or within the rioters who got killed or died due to mental and physical stress due to the canossations, and a great thanks to all admitting the use of their filmatic material, and a standing ovation to the production team that made this documentary about this utopian crisis as well balanced as it is.( many will disagree, but use the stopwatch and time it) if its not nominated for an oscar, then i will...

just a pitty they didnt have filmcameras and audiotapes back in the days of the 1790's french revolution, would have been nice with some comparitions, the grumpy old man though was there at the bastille, so now its time to learn, even for the rioters, what went wrong, remember the paris riots where won with hayforks,axes,spades and gravelers, even bombs made out of human manure where used, without pepper of course.

Well you have to see it to believe it, and some revelations of the true happenings are unveiled, and could easily have turned into a 10 hour feature, so again job well done to the makers of ''four hours at the capitol''
