We need to change the paradigm.

[kentuck]

The usual way of thinking about January 6th is not working.

We need a new way of looking at it.

We need a paradigm shift.

We need a shock to the system, in my opinion.

We need to trace the problem to its source and change the way we think about it.

Perhaps Republicans do not deserve the respect or credibility of a national Political Party?

Perhaps someone should be charged and arrested?

Insanity is doing and saying the same thing over and over. Perhaps we should not do it anymore?

What can we do to shock the system into a paradigm shift?

1. The next election will settle this, Be patient. nt

[kentuck]

2. So you believe there will be another election and it will be fair and aboveboard?

I wish I thought that.

3. The numbers are on our side nt

9. Voter suppression and message infrastructure is on theirs, we need to end one of those

[Bettie]

18. The media overall

spends its time fluffing the most extreme elements of the right wing.

4. I'm with him.

7. Patience, Grasshopper...

Fall will be here soon.

5. What could be done to in terms of some shock therapy?

I like the idea.

[calimary]

11. I'm curious as well.

[kentuck]

13. One thing that I think would shock the system and change the paradigm...

...would be to make them an offer they can't refuse.

If they do not approve the 1/6 Commission, then there will be no more filibuster. (That would require Manchin and Sinema doing something for their country, rather than themselves)

[Irish_Dem]

14. I think the optics are bad on this one.

Looks like Dems are horse trading on very important issues.

[kentuck]

16. We can just sweep it under the rug...

...and soon, no one will remember that it happened. It will disappear. It will not go down in history. It will be forgotten.

Is that what Americans want?

An attack upon our nation's Capitol, in an attempt to stop the Electoral Count process in the Congress of the United States of America, caused great harm.

Can we really forget about it?

The President of the United States, an autocrat at heart, did not want to leave the White House. (He acted like a kid that did not want to go to bed, because his favorite TV show was coming on)

He inspired and requested that his fans come to Washington DC on January 6th.

When they got there, he incited them to go to the Capitol and to stop the electoral count of the votes. It was a dastardly act.

Now, we are to pretend it never happened? That is what the Republicans are saying. "Let's sweep it under the rug...soon, it will be forgotten."

[Irish_Dem]

17. We cannot sweep it under the rug. And I like the shock and awe idea.

I think we will pull it off. Nancy P and Biden may have something in mind.

6. Follow the money that paid for the insurrection

Political donors paid for this. Shut down the money by shaming those who paid for it. It won’t stop some right wing nuts, but American business can not survive this type of upheaval. Don’t let these nuts hide behind normalcy.

8. In tracing the problem,

one place to investigate thoroughly is the Mercers.

How one billionaire family bankrolled election lies, white nationalism — and the Capitol riot

They have likely been involved in incentivizing and funding the fraudits, voter suppression laws, other Big Lie garbage, maybe threatening to withhold their hefty campaign contributions from Republicans who vote for the 1/6 commission, etc.

Follow the money.

[CentralMass]

10. +1

[calimary]

12. It's always a strategically smart bet. Follow the money.

[pecosbob]

15. I like your title

I believe the real shift will come when more realize that the end never justifies the means. Bottom line...this is what differentiates our political parties. The parties have come to resemble those that populate them.

19. The News with the same old opinions time and time again

maintain the status quo. Their questions are predictable or not there at all.
Welcome to our next hour of news. New talker but the same thing as the last hour. Tune in the next hour for even more of the same thing. We will hear from the same person we have heard from 50 times before.
Stale.

[ananda]

20. Tell that to the rightwing noise machine!

Dems are already there.

[Poiuyt]

21. Fighting irrationality with rationality will not work

We need to use the techniques that cult deprogrammers use. (BTW, I don't know what those are).

[FakeNoose]

22. We need to put duct-tape over Moscow Mitch's mouth

Seriously, that guy did so much damage. It would have passed without him getting involved.
