The 6 January Committee has released its summary of a report. It should alarm us all. It should light a new fire of urgency to hold Trump et al. accountable before the 2024 elections. Will it?

The GOP — and it is THE GOP — had multiple plots to coup against the US. You can’t keep track of them without a program! See how bad it really was!

So, Garland and the DoJ ARE investigating Trump et al. for the 6 January Insurrection and have been for MONTHS!?! Long before the public hearings or the social media pressure? Hunh. Go figure

What will it take for white America to perceive the sure loss of our democracy and take the risk of voting against Republicans? I don’t know that the evidence the 6 Jan Committee is broadcasting is sufficient to overcome white America’s racial animus.

How close is the US to facing an armed insurgency? Damn close. We’re already on the cusp of stage 3. We’re living in an anocracy. We have sharply divided identity politics dominated by white grievance. We are closer than most of us think.

There is a substantial minority of Americans who believe the Big Lie and that Trump is going to be reinstated by some bloddy miracle. What is likely to happen? How likely is it that we’ll see another organized insurrection? A disorganized one? Random sporadic lone-wolf violence? The GQP stealing our elections at the state level?
