11. January 6th will be like Tiananmen Square
Wed May 14, 2025, 11:16 AM
May 2025

You know, that peaceful park in Beijing where nothing bad ever happened and a couple thousand kids were not killed during a peaceful protest.

There are people in China today who were actually there, and who witnessed the carnage, who will testify from the bottom of their hearts that absolutely nothing happened at Tiananmen Square except a brief public praise of Li Ping.

Such is the plasticity of the human mind when subjected to terror. And that is exactly why the fascist GOP doggedly insists that January 6 was a wonderful day, a peaceful day, a show of patriotic love for the police, the flag, and the United States of America. Saying over and over again, knowing that it's a lie that many people will ultimately accept as gospel.

(This is especially dangerous for our children and grandchildren who are like to grow up hearing that January 6 was a truly patriotic day when thousands of Americans, moved by their love of Country, went to the Capitol to pray and rejoice.)
