January 6, 2021 is a day which should live in infamy.

[raccoon]

But I wonder if it will..or will it just go down the memory hole?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

1. 100% should live in infamy. For a majority of Americans, it does, I think. . . nt

[Demsrule86]

18. It doesn't...most Americans I talk to... and I live in Ohio merely want to move on...

Democrats like us care about January 6th...not sure anyone else does.

[BlueJac]

2. It is in process of being swept under the rug,

Unless we start being aggressive and uncover every detail leading up to and shortly after! Make it happen.

[Evolve Dammit]

7. Agreed.

[Lonestarblue]

3. It will live in infamy only if we teach it as such.

That means Democrats will need to write the history books and control the curriculum. Republicans are busy rewriting our whole history to glorify white people, who have never done one wrong thing throughout our generations of existence as a country! Republicans want us all to live in la la land, or as Garrison Keillor put it: “Welcome to Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average." I would add the word “white” before “women,” “men,” and “children” to better fit the Republican philosophy.

4. it will be remembered

as a nexus in which many woke up to the fact of just how fractured (and ugly and dangerous) our seemingly stable democracy had become. History is remembered in broad strokes - so it's debatable whether Jan 6th will be accorded Pearl Harbor status - but it will be pretty hard to push it back into the shadows as just another citizen's 'march.'

[Amishman]

5. It's essentially gone already

the general public never cared, it never seared its way into the imaginations of the general public the way it did here.

With scenes like the moron in horns on the House floor and that smiling idiot waving as he walked out with the speaker's lectern, a huge chunk of America thought it was funny and not terrifying

Outside of politically engaged democrats, no one cares anymore. The way they see it, Trump is out of office, some morons are going to jail or losing their jobs - its over. Besides college basketball season is starting up, lets pay attention to that instead...

[Evolve Dammit]

9. Sadly, I think you are correct. Time is running out for the Commission and Garland.

[Demsrule86]

17. Exactly, we need to wrap up the commission and move on to passing legislation...make a damn

deal...I talking to you house members and to you Senate holdouts...get it done!

[The Jungle 1]

6. Never let repukes forget.

It must be your go to line. All debate revolves around 1/6. Forever.
We have the high ground.

[Demsrule86]

16. Nope...if we do this, we will lost multiple elections.

[IronLionZion]

8. The "you can't erase history" folks

would like to completely erase and rewrite this act of "tourism".

[Alexander Of Assyria]

10. Corporate fascist media trying to stuff it down the memory hole. They will fail.

[dalton99a]

11. VERY SOON: "A day when Biden voters tried to get in and make other tourists look bad"

[Rebl2]

12. It should live

in infamy. The cable channels and networks should remember that day this coming January 6, 2022. Every year they remember 9/11, and as far as I’m concerned 1/6 is something this country should remember as well-the day we came close to losing our democracy. We are still fighting to save it.

[Bev54]

13. As Barr once said, it depends on who is writing history.

[DeeNice]

14. Suggestions for observance on the anniversary?

It's really just around the corner. I'm sure the other side will want to celebrate their big day. We need to counter that with something more serious.

[Demsrule86]

19. Pass legislation...BBB at leas, a voting bill if we can...and pass the defense bill...we are

going to get creamed in the next election if the soldiers don't get paid...it needs to be passed.

[Demsrule86]

15. Did you ever hear of the Business Mans Revolt? A very serious attempt was made to overthrow

Roosevelt and appoint a dictator...Most of the financiers of the time were involved one way or another...the man picked to be 'president' who had a good rapport with the troops Was General Smedly Butler...a Marine. Who promptly ratted out the conspirators to Congress. Congress held hearings but no one was arrested or punished.

Now our situation is a bit different. And we know what happened. But knowing and proving in a court of law are two different things. Also, it is unlikely a jury would ever convict Trump anywhere. There will always be one Trumper. I give thanks for Trumps age...he won't be around much longer thankfully. I think our best not great options are to go after him in the states...that has the best chance but may not work either. The worst thing for us is to try Trump and have him acquitted which could easily happen.
