Democrats have characterized the events of January 6th, 2021 as the worst attack on our democracy since Pearl Harbor. Many say politics is downstream from theater, and if Insurrection Day was a movie, it might have been the biggest dud since Sex Lives of the Potato Men.
Nancy Pelosi directed other box office bombs, such as Russia Collusion, The Mueller Report, and Impeachment. Insurrection Day was going to be Democrats’ Lawrence of Arabia.
The one-year remembrance had all the trappings of the Oscars. The stars of the Democratic Party were there, with a performance by the cast of Hamilton, followed by shunned Republicans Liz Cheney and her war-mongering father, Dick. Vice President Kamala Harris compared Insurrection Day, where four people died, to 9/11. Then, Joe Biden delivered a disunifying speech that seemed angry and vengeful.
The plot begins with Orange Man as a sore loser, claiming election fraud, telling his base to overthrow the government. The plot thickens with names like Baked Alaska and QAnon Shaman, the faces of the great trespassing event known as insurrection. Saturday Night Live couldn’t come up with a skit as incredible as the worst attack on our Democracy.
Insurrection Day was a modern-day Birth of a Nation, where the Trump supporters are ignorant. As with that film, which tapped into white America’s racism against Black people, Insurrection Day horrifies the ruling class enough to justify their tyranny over the masses.
As with Al Capone or Bonny and Clyde, the real story doesn’t match the mythology. The portrayal of January 6th in Insurrection Day is entirely partisan. In overdramatizing the events of that day, democrats want to whitewash all the riots that erupted in Washington D.C. in June 2020, when rioters tried to tear down statues, and set fires at the 200-year-old St John’s church.
In reality, Insurrection Day was nothing more than a pep rally. But Democrats are politicizing January 6th as jet fuel to motivate their base. I hope Democrats make it a holiday; I like having days off. Let them bully and run over anyone who voices dissent. Usually, those who try to destroy books always are the ones whom no one remembers in the books.
This attempt to turn America into 1984 is a big swing and miss. Every day, more people realize Joe Biden sold them a box of rocks. They may not vote for Republicans, but under no circumstance will they vote Democratic.
Just sit back, grab your popcorn and wait for the Democrats’ next desperate attempt to destroy Donald Trump.
