The "Green Bay Sweep"--One Year Later
#1
So here we are one year after the Capitol insurrection and Trump's failed autogolpe.

Some 752 people have been convicted of breaking into the Capitol, but the ring leaders and planners of the coup attempt remain at large, some guiding the "slow moving coup" still underway to throw the next election. This time, if all goes according to their plan, this time around they will have the "right people" in place who will place party over country and rule of law.

We have a Congressional committee investigating the plot to overturn the election through coordinated action among Trump operatives in critical swing states--the so-called "Green Bay Sweep"--but this is an election year, and if they haven't completed their investigation by election time, it may never be completed.

The Maga faction is rewriting history on right wing news outlets, stirring opposition to the new "witch hunt." Trump is the front running GOP candidate for 2024, according to polls.

I don't wish to "remember" 1/6 so much as to acknowledge that the "coup" is still very much with us, ongoing, not over.

Biden gave an effective review of the facts this morning, but that will not move the 10s of millions who still believe it was Biden, not Trump, who violated "election integrity" in 2020.

So I am wondering how many of my MB colleagues share this concern whether coup leaders will ever be held accountable for their actions or whether, as with the Russia investigation and Trump's 1st and 2nd impeachment, they'll get off scott free to continue to undermine democracy. The prospect of these Superminority leaders again evading accountability makes other issues, like voting rights and filibuster reform, even more urgent.

Do any agree with McConnell, that the investigation is just partisan political theater over an unfortunate incident, a few mistaken calculations on the part of the Capitol police planning security and an unruly and undirected crowd? Is democracy really at stake, or will everything be ok once the Dem theater is over and the GOP has control of Congress and maybe the Senate again? Are "both sides" doing it?
