Abstract
In 2021 the United States Capitol was under attack by Trump supporters .Because many rioters reported on social media, I was able to follow the event of January 6, via my computer. I noticed two things in these videos: First, Trump supporters held the Stars and Stripes while acting feverishly as if they were playing in a movie or experiencing a historic moment—and second they used cell phones to film both each other and themselves. I started taking screenshots of their selfies just because I was amazed at how recognisably familiar these men and women were. Sometimes, I imagined I was looking at a cousin or, then again, even a neighbor. I selected the portraits for this book for this familiarity.
