OPINION:
I am an outspoken supporter of Jan. 6, 2021. I was not a supporter at the time of the events (although I will say I enjoyed seeing a bit of open rebellion against the corrupt elitists who think they hold power over this nation’s people). What changed my mind was the cold-blooded murder of the unarmed veteran Ashli Babbitt by Capitol police and the treatment of those who became political prisoners afterward. Those individuals still languish in prison for doing nothing more than walking through the nation’s Capitol building.
In the past year copious amounts of evidence have come out against Joe Biden’s suspicious 2020 win. We’ve learned of fraudulent votes being tallied in the middle of the night and have been given the excuse that there was an epidemic. The people who rallied on Jan. 6 wanted nothing more than a legal audit of the voting process. What we got instead was a government that showed its true colors: a tyranny worse than that of our original reason for revolt and independence in the 18th century.
If the Jan. 6 protesters had truly wanted revolt, Capitol Hill would today be no more than a handful of ashes. The protesters showed great restraint against a corrupt deep state.
The Jan 6. committee, with its partisan, Soviet-style propaganda, has made a mockery of our justice system. It will be remembered as a one-sided charade, and it will backfire on the Democrats on election days for years to come (if we ever have free and fair elections again). I have lost faith in my government to such a point that I now neither trust nor respect it.
I have no doubt that if the 2022 midterms becomes a sham like the 2022 presidential elections, a national divorce is very likely the cure for this disease of corruption that runs rampant.
