Even without the pandemic and the disastrous policies they pursued for four years, the Trump years were the most destructive of our nine lives. As anyone who values reproductive freedom is about to find out, the three Supreme Court nominations were reason enough.
But nothing disturbs us more than the Republican Party doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin, working hard to undermine democracy. By sowing doubt in an election that even in the middle of COVID-19 was the biggest and most secure in our history, and by supporting an attack on the Capitol as Congress met to certify that election, the GOP has gone fully over to the side of the dictators.
That's Putin and Trump, but you can also throw in there overseas autocrats like Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines, Viktor Orban in Hungary, and the dudes in Poland, just to name a few. It's disturbing enough to see strongmen like this rise to power and democracy weakening around the world, but when it starts happening in your own back yard, it's even worse.
Leading that charge is House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who is deeply implicated in the January 6 insurrection and who now has come out against the brokered agreement to establish a bipartisan 1/6 commission. Why? Because Liz Cheney accurately suggested that he would be subpoenaed. McCarthy is a major fact witness from the day. He spoke directly to Benedict Donald. He's lied about it since.
Like Matt Gaetz and his lurking sex-trafficking-of-a-minor scandal, McCarthy and other Republicans complicit in the attack on the Capitol (Boebert? Greene? Gosar?) know that sooner or later, the truth will out. So they're throwing up every smokescreen imaginable in the meantime — the integrity of the American experiment be damned.
These people are criminals and traitors. In the words of Benedict Donald, lock them up. We cats HISS.
