January 6th Commission, or Wrongthink Inquisition?
The proposed commission is part of the rolling effort to target, smear, and chill half the country
The contemplated January 6th Commission has little to do with January 6th and most everything to do with railroading the tens of millions of Trump voters represented by the tens of thousands of peaceful protesters in Washington that day, whose views the Ruling Class has ignored and whose interests it has undermined.
It is part of a continued, rolling effort to exploit the inexcusable, pathetic and disgraceful actions of several hundred people to further the narrative that up to half the country constitutes would-be or potential domestic terrorists, justify the pervasive use of Ruling Class power to pursue them and, in the near term, hang the events around the necks of Republicans to retain and augment political power.
In a new piece at Newsweek, I write about why the fight over the commission is about far more than partisan Kabuki theater aimed at the midterm elections, or differences over scope and process, but rather a question of whether the Ruling Class is going to run roughshod over the half the country that has rejected its leadership, or anyone will stand athwart the present mass of madness yelling stop.
