What has happened to the GOP. Opposing a bipartisan commission into the Jan 6 insurrection, an attack on ALL of us, is an act of cowardice, and it’s decidedly UN-American. When democracy is violently challenged, BOTH parties should want to know why and how. Shame on Republicans for deciding not to, just in service of one guy. (Who lost them the WH, House and Senate, btw.)
A better question is: do we have a democracy? We technically have a republic, and for all practical purposes, we have a plutocratic oligarchy.
The "attack" on the Capitol was little more than a psyop on the American public, and judging by the reactions of many Americans, a very effective one.
Democracy isn't being challenged, but critical thinking is. The feds don't work for you or me. They work for K Street. This is why I don't care if a few Q types scared the corrupt bastards in DC. A real "insurrection" is more like what some Puerto Rican Nationalists did in the 50s.
Meanwhile, the media and the feds don't give a damn about various cities getting burned down by Antifa or BLM. Why should I care about a far less violent incident in DC? **** those people.
