So who you gonna call come November?

IMO, the first Jan 6 Committee hearing was a stellar performance in the exact right venue at the exact right time for the world to witness and for history to remember: an ornate, high-ceiling rotunda filled with natural light and eager reporters at the seat of our struggling democracy. A jumbo screen and lots of clicking, whirring cameras to boot — as official as it gets. So naturally, as is their wont, the “Red Hats” have summarily dismissed the entire “Hollywood” production as a politicized “show trial” before a decisive election. Lmao.

Well, yeeeaaah! Of course it’s a show trial! And, OMG, it’s in a political arena! Oh, the horror! But that’s the whole point: government operating with the lights turned on. What a radical concept! Purportedly, we are still a people’s democracy. And, like it or not, democracy is all about politics. The electorate must look at the facts and discern the truth to make the right choices on their ballots — a duty to themselves, their families, their country, and the world.

The “sleeping giant” awakens. That’s the greatest fear of America’s growing right-wing faction of treasonous bastards — seditionists, if you will, steeped in bigoted lies and violent ideology, who have captured the entire Republican Party from their goofball generals down to the clueless privates. It’s vital for future generations and democracies everywhere that true Americans (everybody else) crush this latest fascist rebellion at the ballot box and that our justice system cuts off the head of the snake. By all means, DO tread on the yellow-bellied snakes and their stupid flags. Stomp ‘em all out! Truth matters; justice matters; votes matter.

Agreed. Let's hope Merrick Garland was watching too.
