"How the hell did we get here?
It's been a year since January 6th, 2021.
And instead of shamefacedly being a year safely away from the demise of
democracy, we're still looking right at it.
We're still looking right at it, right on the very cusp of revolution and
collapse and civil war.
It's not over.
And what's horrifying a year later
isn't that a bunch of raggedy-assed
unwashed unshaven sloppy virgins in militia garb, wild-eyed drooling conspiracy
nuts led by some goof wearing horns on his head and woad on his face like a
Dollar Store Mel Gibson, and a veritable cornucopia of howling racists in every
fruity flavor from pathetic Klansmen to sad inbred toothless Confederates to
violent white nationalist Nazis, attacked the nation's capitol in an attempt to
overthrow democracy and appoint Donald Trump as King of some new Empire of
Blustering Capitalist Rage.
How the hell did we get
here?"
