My forefathers told me "Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear!"
This memory of loving little lessons came to mind today, re: the January 6th Capitol riot.
The hearings are as sickening at the event. Do better.
CDC and wise leaders will tell you that normally spirited political rallies DURING a Terrifying Pandemic Lockdown were GUARANTEED to "mess up", to put it mildly.. My Mother woudl have said "What did they expect?"
BUT THERE WAS WILD FRAUD DURING THE 2020 ELECTION - any other statement is a LIE.
Caused by the “workarounds” for safe voting during the pandemic - many took advantage and tampered with results - bizarrely in a few incidets I SAW.
MY CALL???
Those days will NEVER be perfectly resolved - they were unheard of moments in our beautiful and proud history and will probably be only reconciled - never resolved - with compensations to those who were directly injured and deep apology from ALL SIDES that such a moment could occur.
I worked at polls " in the south in a town without a bar and handcast ballots" and others...I SEEEE.
And somehow when some of the badstuff happenend I happened to be privy, but since I am older and was a risk, I said almost nothing at the time, other than "HEY THEY ARE CHEATING AND NO ONE IS STOPPING THEM' !
My feeble lockedown voice was about as effiective as "I'm telling my Mother"
But If I had been running for public office and the fate of a nation and a fortune spent on the campaign, and was forced to idly watch as the process was so abused, and truth and honesty violated so wildly, I would have "lost it in a meltdown ,too"
Shakespeare's "How like is god is man when mercy tempers justice!" I remember from high school drama class role as Portia.....here I am again, to reprise, swan song or no.
