Abstract
This photograph taken January 6, 2021, depicts a mob of supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump attacking the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. After losing the presidential election, Donald Trump dishonestly propagated the idea that he actually won the election, making multiple unsupported accusations of voter fraud, all of which were disproved. Despite the reality of the situation, Trump clung to the fantasy that he could hold onto power by preventing Congress from counting the electoral votes on January 6.
