Should America Continue to be a Democracy? Views Differ

Filed in National by on June 9, 2022

A coup against the people and government of the United States failed. That should be seriously and publicly unpacked. Arrests and convictions must made or we’ll invite bigger and more effective coup attempts.

And yet, we all know that the “objective” media coverage is going to be a nauseating “both sides” bullshit fest where the mid-term horserace is the central narrative and the FACT THAT REPUBLICANS TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT is brushed aside.

Today is going to be maddening. Journalists will be tempted to cover the Jan 6 hearings like they cover everything else: as a strategic game between two political sides, downplaying anything “we already knew” and framing it in terms of “how it will play for Dems in the midterms”

    When the fascists take over it will be illegal to say America is not a democracy.

    I don’t think we’ve been a democracy for awhile.

    Not when corporate lobbyists write the laws, and minority rule trumps the will of the people.

    Atrios really has Chris Coons’ number

    As this is Jan. 6 hearing day, a brief plea to Democrats that you can’t communicate “grave threat to our country” and “guys we really love working with” simultaneously.
    I think this one should be obvious.

    We have an ongoing coup, suspect we will see another. If a collection of idiots and pretend soldiers almost toppled the government it lets the world know we are weak and more then a little bit pathetic. I will watch the hearing, expect idiotic comments from all Republicans, will turn it off if the TV becomes endangered by flying objects.
