Trump Apology Corps in full apology mode.
The 9/11 terrorists and Osama bin Laden never threatened the heart of the American experiment.
The 1/6 terrorists and Donald Trump absolutely did exactly that. Trump continues that effort today. https://t.co/cDcOkXFeio

This attempt to whitewash what happened that day is shameful.
9/11 was an act of war done by foreigners.
1/6 was an attack on our republic — an attempt to END OUR DEMOCRACY — committed by supposed Americans, including the sitting president.

The PATRIOT Act did not erode enough rights for the Left. If they can turn a bunch of Americans angry at apparent election fuckery – in which an incumbent president who filled stadiums at election rallies was beaten by a senile pervert who has lost multiple previous primaries and couldn’t get a few dozen people to show up to any of his rallies, but won a record number of votes in an election in which the voting rules were suddenly changed due to an unprecedented reaction to a pandemic – into a “threat at the heart if the American experiment,” they can pass something orders of magnitude more intrusive than the PATRIOT Act but aimed squarely at American citizens.
That’s the goal.
OK, I can understand a bit of what George Will was trying to say. Seeing a large group of people break into the Capital, etc… was a shock to the system. In my opinion, not even close to seeing the Twin Towers collapse, or The Pentagon with a hole through punched through it. But, it was a shock.
To elevate it to “…an attempt to END OUR DEMOCRACY… is ridiculous.
And, that is why the leftists are so strident about making this into a 9/11 level incident. They want to, no need to cement their place in positions of power. And, without their own 9/11 it will be that much harder to remove anyone on the right.
Will is a Lincoln Project fellow traveler; I no longer take anything he says seriously. He ranks right down there with Sharpton for credibility and integrity in my view.
