Few Consequences

A good point made by Michael Podhorzer on this week’s “Amicus” podcast from Slate. There have been startling few repercussions for elected officials who supported the January 6th insurrection. Even the man who urged it on is running for President (again) and is currently the front-runner for the Republican Party.

There has been no learning here. There is no victory for democracy here. People have been driven to not caring about facts and/or objectivity. It is this or it is that. There is no gray.

We are no better today than we were on 1/5/2021. We have learned nothing from this.
