Let's pretend. [View all]

Let's pretend there wasn't an attempted coup and an attempted violent overthrow of our government.

Let's pretend there wasn't a Republican President and a Republican Congress that committed the crimes, but a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress.

It would be no big deal, right? There would be no hypocrisy.

Let's pretend everything is normal.

Let's pretend it never happened.

Maybe it will all go away?
