Well…with the first of the January 6th public hearings scheduled for prime time Thursday evening, I am seeing the people on the left or living in the real world think once the facts are out there about the conspiracy, it will make some sort of earthquake that will take down all of these fascist assholes that tried to destroy this country…but my cynical take is that it just isn’t going to matter. In normal times before the crazies got control of the repub party, all of those who participated in the coup attempt would have been thrown out of congress and their sorry asses would be in jail…but it has become a badge of honor for repubs to still spout the big lie that the election was “stolen” and they are running campaigns based on that lie…and just how do the Jan 6th hearings cut through that delusion? Look, I’ve never lived through a time in this country when one of the major political parties sole purpose for being is to rig elections and take rights away from 50% of the population….in that climate, I don’t think I’ll get my hopes up that anything that comes out of the hearings is going to make a difference….and that is just so damn depressing….
