Was what you saw on January 6, 2021 what the person standing next to you saw?

It won’t take long — maybe a generation or two — but one day, Jan. 6, 2021, will be just another day of infamy just like all the rest. It will contain only a shadow of its former dread. It will be turned into an occasion for cosplay and winter barbecue by tens of thousands of Americans who will remember it fondly.

“Do you remember, your President Nixon? / Do you remember, the bills you have to pay / or even yesterday?”Our collective memories — encoded on neurons on endlessly crisscrossing filigrees and synapses within that gooey matrix of ghosts and projections we call history — is as much under assault as our democracy.

Blame the FBI, not President Trump, for any chaos that ensued. Nancy Pelosi’s office was trashed by stooges of Nancy Pelosi because she failed to ensure that enough security was on hand for a peaceful demonstration. That’s just karma, baby! If he is speaking his truth, why don’t you believe him? The evidence is clear to anyone who isn’t a satanic cannibal: Jan. 6 was just another day at the Capitol. There was no insurrection. That was a protest. The real insurrection was on Nov. 3, when the election was stolen!

Forty years from now, as we’re dealing with climate change catastrophes that make the question of democratic self-rule somewhat moot, we won’t remember why a shrinking minority of Americans consider Jan. 6 a bad thing.
