once again     this time in Georgia communities of color saved democracy from spiraling into violent authoritarianism in spite of armed white mobs      incited by the president's men breaking into the nation's capitol looting and destroying interrupting certification hearings forcing members of congress     to seek sheltered places killing a policeman causing five more deaths the scenes shocked the world and most U. S.  citizens america has become small again no more a beacon of democracy just another banana republic in a real democracy citizens cast their votes and then respect certified election results
