"Hell is truth seen too late." - Thomas Hobbes

Are we not seeing the full truth in regards to the attempted coup of January 6th?

Is the coup still going on?

How much damage is being done for lack of accountability?

What should be done?

No, the full picture is not being presented or discussed because it implicates the majority of the minority party and they are not having the truth come to light, period. Exhibit A? McCarthy and his bloviating nonsense answers now versus on the 6th...

Is the coup still going on?

Yes, the morons are lining up behind of all people the traitor Flynn and the remnants of Trumpism as it morphs into an even more toxic sludge.

How much damage is being done for lack of accountability?

Immeasurable. These people pursue power for the sake of wielding that power at the behest of their paymasters and owners. They THINK they're "free" and "patriots", in reality they are fighting to remain out of the lowest levels of the serfdom to come and they think that is just awesome.

What should be done?

Jail sentences to the would-be usurpers...but it MUST include those in the Trump orbit that gained illicitly from association with the worst head of state in world history.

Contributing to the further decline of this country is the apparent lack of any accountability - outside of a few still-incarcerated participants - as well as the seemingly increasing normalization of the inciters and participants of January 6th.
Isn't it odd that the event has all but disappeared from the national discourse?
What ever happened to the investigation of which Congressional member gave tours of the Capitol on January 5th?
How about Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz, who directly incited the crowd? Why are they still around?

Damage? It's hard to assess in the trainwreck that this country has become. Was it the January 6th riot, the 45th administration as a whole, or the continuing dumbing down of Americans? Well, it's all of that and more.

What should be done is obvious, imo. There MUST be an independent investigation into how and why this event occurred. There MUST be a reckoning for the leading role that the 45th potus played in the failed insurrection. And there MUST be accountability by anyone who participated.

Joe has been a bright light in the darkness that fell over this country since 2016, but it's not enough. The forces of this darkness continue to make significant inroads into destroying our democracy. Voting rights - voting rights!! - are under severe attack by the fascists. Nothing will change as long as the American people tolerate the insane, destructive fantasies of what somehow is a major political party in this country.
