"Jan. 6 is not in the past; it is every day.
It is regular citizens who threaten election officials and other public servants, who ask, “When can we use the guns?” and who vow to murder politicians who dare to vote their conscience.
In short the Republic faces an existential threat from a movement that is openly contemptuous of democracy and has shown that it is willing to use violence to achieve its ends. No self-governing society can survive such a threat by denying that it exists. Rather, survival depends on looking back and forward at the same time. Truly grappling with the threat ahead means taking full account of the terror of that day a year ago." - NY Times Editorial, 'Every Day Is Jan. 6 Now', Sunday, January 3
"America has not come together to defend its democracy; it has only split further apart. Lies and disinformation spread by the former president have so permeated the political ecosphere that nearly universal outrage has reverted to separate blue and red realities." - Peter Baker, 'A Year Later Jan. 6 Becomes Just Another Wedge In A Divided Nation', NY Times today
"For the first time, I’ve begun to understand the plight of German Jews in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Some concluded that this time was different and acted accordingly, often by leaving the country. But most could not take the worst case seriously, or even conceive of it. We’ve seen bad times before, they thought, and we’ve always managed to get through them. Surely our friends and neighbors won’t believe unscrupulous demagogues. We’re all good Germans, aren’t we?"- William Galston, WSJ, 'What If It Can Happen Here?', p. A13,
"The right has doggedly resisted the idea of holding accountable the man — Trump — who called the rioters together, who exhorted them like Vince Lombardi in a pregame speech and aimed them like a gun at the heart of American democracy. This refusal to impose consequences, combined with the passage of laws designed to restrict Democratic-leaning voters’ access to the polls and the installation of Trump loyalists in positions of authority over state elections strongly suggests that the events of Jan. 6 will ultimately prove to be not an isolated event, but a dress rehearsal for something far worse. Because you see, they “love” America so. Oh, and their votes were “stolen.”
On this first anniversary, it seems appropriate — indeed, necessary — to call that claim out for the despicable crock it is." - Leonard Pitts Jr., The Miami Herald, Jan. 5, 'Jan. 6 Rioters Do Not Love America, They Hate And Fear The America We're Becoming'
Today, the five-year mark of the January 6, 2021 insurrection, recalls a day that will live in infamy. Especially given the traitor who incited it has now been catapulted back into power by deranged voters clueless of democracy or their birthright. Recall, instead of calling a halt to the treasonous violence, Trump relished it, enjoyed on a widescreen TV what his brain-fucked mob was doing in his name - after swallowing the Big Lie. This is the cockroach that the Repuke cult and tens of millions of morons couldn't wait to return to power. And this after they've spent the past 4 years memory- holing the event to the point nearly 40 percent of Americans think we need to "move on."
No we do not 'need to move on'!
We need to absorb and process the worst sedition and rebellion since the Civil War and the most violent Capitol attack since the War of 1812. Those maggots tried to burn our democracy, our Republic to the ground using a pretext the 2020 election was "stolen". A vicious, seditious lie sown by the cockroach Trump.
The Trump-motivated traitors who stormed the Capitol this day one year ago want to smother the magnitude of their atrocity in euphemisms ("patriotic protest") and obfuscation, deflection ("It was Antifa", "It was an FBI false flag"). But the Right's own celebrities and hacks on FOX (Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham) were themselves panicked by what was going on, proving they grasped the significance of the abomination underway. See e.g. this clip of the released Hannity texts:
Thus, the informed citizen, the real patriot who knows our real Constitution , knows these lying, obfuscating renegades were really out to destroy this nation and still are. Look no further than Trump's DOGE-sponsored destruction of our government agencies - there to serve the PEOPLE.
And this is why their deplorable MAGA cult can never be allowed to revise history to somehow depict their depredations and treachery as "free speech" or some kind of perverted 'patriotism'. Or to portray the Democrats as the actual insurrectionists - as they attempt in a new website. (See bottom reference and my reaction to it.)
A start to stopping the revisionist efforts would be finally placing the congressional plaque honoring the officers on duty that day on public display.
Those brave men and women were the real heroes who defended the Capitol from a raging mob of rabid Trumper traitors. But as the Denver Post reported this a.m. the House Squealer Mike Johnson has yet to even unveil the plaque. WTF is this pissant waiting for? Traitor Trump's approval?
See e.g.'
This Jan. 6 plaque was made to honor law enforcement. It's nowhere to be found at the Capitol : NPR
The biggest insult of all?? Likely this message from the Denver Post today:
Trump’s face is set to adorn the American the Beautiful parks pass, alongside George Washington, starting Jan. 1
So on our park tickets we are forced to see the orange face of a consummate traitor with the nerve to put his visage alongside Wahington's. We can't use the alternative tickets without they're being nullified., i.e. those designed by a Boulder artist:
Acknowledging this grotesque swine as a resident only, and temporary given he's a lame duck. He just hasn't processed it yet in his febrile and retarded brain. How far will these fucker roaches go to try to revise history? A hint is provided in their latest vile move, to get as many imbeciles as possible to bite:
