Following a violent breach of the Capitol that left five dead and lawmakers in hiding, the House moved swiftly to charge him with inciting insurrection, while Twitter erased his voice from the public square and his own party began to fracture. The moment placed a singular question before the republic: what does a democracy owe itself when its own mechanisms are turned against it?
