Suddenly, news screens throughout our land are flooding us with new fears. Once again, it feels like we may be trapped in a reoccurring national nightmare that threatens to divide us and shatter our democracy.
It all seems frightening, yet familiar – like a melding of the shocking violence of Jan. 6 and the looping lunacy of Groundhog Day.
Except this week our news screens seemed to have become de facto radios. No videos of shocking violence against our government’s protectors of law and order. Just words of anger, attacking our government’s law and order protectors – and inciting violence against them from the most easy-to-stampede militants in our midst. Those inflammatory words gushed from our news screens all week – all spoken by Famous Name Republicans. The famous names of what we once hailed as the party of law and order attacked the U.S. law and order establishment for having done something awful at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.
