The "Big Lie" was only the beginning.
The "Capitol Coup" was the ending.
Except it did not end.
It continues.
The "Big Lie" is only half the story.

(182,811 posts)From Atwaters identity politics God Guns and Gays to Laffers Trickle Down to Falwells Moral Majority theyve living behind a wall of smoke to obscure their core interest which is to defend racists and polluters. Thats it. Going back to Dixiecrats and Reagan in Philadelphia Mississippi to snowballs in the Senate thats what theyve always been about.

(1,575 posts)The ending is in the future. Nearly 500 insurrectionists have been indicted and arrested. These are the thugs of the attempted coup. The political leaders SHOULD be next. Will it happen? We shall see. If not thru DOJ, then thru the ballot box. I'm optimistic that the insurrectionists day will come and that many political planners of this will be out of politics within the next few years.
