Online harassment campaigns can escalate into a tangible and life-threatening event like when pro-Trump extremists stormed the Capitol in Washington D.C. (Video first published January 8.)
OPINION: The January 6 storming of the US Capitol was described as violating hallowed ground and American democratic values. It followed former president Donald Trump signing the Executive Order on Promoting Beautiful Federal Civic Architecture on December 18. The order directs that federal public buildings “uplift and beautify public spaces, inspire the human spirit, ennoble the United States, and command respect from the general public . classical architecture shall be the preferred and default architecture for Federal public buildings”.
