(15,394 posts)the first question that comes to mind is what proportion of the American people are actually hearing this? Because Fox sure ain't reporting it, nor is it getting any airtime on AM hate-talk radio. We can bet on that.
So no matter what the select committee does, no matter what actions are/can be taken by the government, Trump still got 74 million votes, and even though his support has eroded to a harder core of facists, say maybe 35-40 million, that is still a huge number of people who to this day believe Trump actually won the election. The whole underground pizza human trafficking Jewish lasers from space group. And they have lots of guns.
In the meantime, we have maybe 60 or 70 million of us that are troubled by rising fascism. That leaves millions and millions of Americans who may never hear this. Oh, they can tell you all about the latest reality TV star or perform sophisticated analysis of their favorite sports teams, but cannot tell you how many people are on the Supreme Court, what a bicameral legislature is, or even who their own US Senators and Representatives are.
Sometimes I sigh, because it seems a pretty tall order to actually get this news out to more Americans.
