How many watched Frontline last night?

First of all if you didn’t do yourself a favor and try to find it online. Basically went back to the 2016 campaign and counted down to January 6th, showing how Trump continually broke norms, got worse and the GOP stood by and watched on until it was too late.
What was scary to me is that I always thought the GOP talked a big game about the Big Lie but wouldn’t actually overturn the election when it came time. But it seems had the Dems not been in power they might have. Also what I had always assumed, that they all fell back in line because trump threatened the party chair that he was creating his own 3rd party. They chose having a chance at power over country. Otherwise the GOP would’ve become a long term minority party so they held their nose and went back to him. If that’s really the case there’s nothing short of him behind bars or in the ground that will cause them to stand up to him.

Have always loved Frontline. Very in depth analysis and very informative, one of the best on cable TV.

I did not enjoy having to re-live all that shit, but glad I watched. It should be required viewing for every American adult, but the ones who need to see it most would just pooh-pooh the whole thing as "fake news."

but oh my goodness, was it ever hard to have to watch and listen to T so much!!!!!!!!

It was so very upsetting.

But an excellent perspective.

I was blaming T, but now I have more disdain for the republicans as a whole.
