Donald Trump has repeatedly framed the January 6 rioters as political prisoners, drawing a direct parallel to historical narratives used by the Ku Klux Klan to justify their actions. This comparison highlights how both groups have portrayed themselves as martyrs fighting against a perceived tyranny, particularly in response to claims of electoral fraud.
By labeling the January 6 events as a ‘Day of Love’ and likening his supporters to revolutionaries, Trump effectively manipulates public perception, rallying support by framing his and their grievances as vital to restoring democracy. This strategy reflects a deepening polarization in American politics, where narratives often dismiss accountability.
