Sunshine is the best disinfectant. We the people paid for this investigation and we the people should be able to see the evidence our investigation unearthed.
But Tucker Carlson is not “we the people”. Which I’m sure was one point I had in mind. Carlson will just cherry pick what will serve his narrative. It will just be one more attempt to hide truth.
Hiding truth seems like something MAGA and Republicans in large part have been putting far more effort into than anything else. Extreme grievance politics, conspiracism, election denialism, prominence granted to MTG, who feels free to advocate secession of red states, unless we actually become a fascist state for the foreseeable future, which I doubt, than History will not be kind to any of this.
Of little concern now, but it still reminds me that the Truth should win out, and will win out, eventually. And all MAGA Republicans, and the McCarthy they control, are doing is enabling themselves and their party to escape accountability. And I’m reasonably sure that’s the effort Carlson will assist. Even as we all know now that he himself knew the Big Lie at the heart of 1/6 was BS.
I just wonder how long such absurdity can go on.
It would have been far better for our nation if Republicans had repudiated Trump. All the denialism, conspiracism, etc, all this they substituted for the simple truth, and acceptance of accountability. Trump could not do that himself. Trump would not do that. It was up to the Republican Party, and they failed our nation when their active help might have help avoid this sundering. A single man’s ego, and the fear of his base, allowed Republicans to sell out their country.
