The American Farce Unravels: Shreds of January 6th
The storming
of the Capitol on January 6th by Trump supporters was an acceleration
in the unraveling of the American political regime and the fantastic ideology
that sustains it. Unfortunately, the likeliest result, in the short term at
least, is that the regime will knit itself a tighter coat of control, with the
help, sadly, of a large number of professed “progressives” who are rushing
to bolster an imperial center that cannot, and should not, hold.
This event, which featured a cast of costumed characters that turned the Capitol into the Mos Eisley Cantina for a couple of hours, was the culmination of five years of farcical politics increasingly unhinged from the ability to think reasonably about, let alone effectively address, the real dangers and injustices accumulating in our country and the world, The ground work of that was decades of the Fox vs. CNN/MSNBC universe of mutually-assured ideological degradation.
