Hopefully, this will be the end of the tea party, now called the freedom caucus.

It was the tea party members who helped Trump attempt to over throw our government, Meadows, Jordan, Gaetz, Greene, etc. All of them working together with Trump and others in planning the coup. The open hearings will expose all of them.

Many of them should be indicted and at the very least their political careers should end.

In order to cure America we need a heavy dose of indictments.

Such people have always been with us, but they haven't always had a prominent voice or political power.

If such indictments ever come along (and I'm extremely doubtful about that), they will be turned into a badges of honor by those who already treat these bastards as heroes.

The disease is racism.

How do you cure racism?
Change "hearts and minds"? NO
You make it F-ing illegal.

The best, the ONLY cure to WhiteChristianNationalism, race baiting, mysogyny, etc. is WINNING

Short quote (from Kendi)

Protesting against racist power and succeeding can never be mistaken for seizing power. Any effective solution to eradicating American racism must involve Americans committed to antiracist policies seizing and maintaining power over institutions, neighborhoods, counties, states, nations—the world. It makes no sense to sit back and put the future in the hands of people committed to racist policies, or people who regularly sail with the wind of self-interest, toward racism today, toward antiracism tomorrow. An antiracist America can only be guaranteed if principled antiracists are in power, and then antiracist policies become the law of the land, and then antiracist ideas become the common sense of the people, and then the antiracist common sense of the people holds those antiracist leaders and policies accountable.
