The January 6th Committee’s final report and criminal referrals reflect an unmistakable truth: that Donald Trump orchestrated an attempt to overthrow our democracy, and has been abetted by leaders in the Republican Party. But we've also come to see how that day highlighted the perilous road which partisanship has led us down. Division, hate and conspiracy reinforce an ‘us vs them’ politics. Politicians fight to prevent competition, preferring instead to lock the American people in a culture of fear and distrust.
The answer to January 6th isn’t just accountability - though that certainly is a necessary component. It also requires we reinvigorate American democracy in the hearts of our people, take bold and innovative action to reinforce our institutions, and fearlessly reform our political system to bring greater choice and expression to all citizens.
Without those other components, we are only delaying the unraveling of our Constitutional Republic.
The January 6th committee was an example of how the parties have turned to media and played to their bases. The lack of politicians with the courage to do what’s best for the country is disturbing, and should inspire all reasonable Americans to move……Forward!
I do agree. I’m with Liz all the way! I don’t think Trump should ever be allowed to hold office again. We need to preserve our Constitutional Republic.
Don’t agree with this. The January 6 Committee was a partisan kangaroo court whose recommendations were a foregone conclusion. Whether Trump’s actions merit prosecution is undetermined, but the January 6 recommendations are not the basis for it.
