But precisely in order to justify such actions, "alternative facts" were invented.
The truth of January 6th can't be erased. Watch the pardoned criminals brutally attacking police inside the Capitol and see what some call 'patriotism.' No spin, just facts.

In short, the United States has become a bold mix of plutocracy and gerontocracy.
I wrote about how Congress has turned into a senior center.
How many AOCs are never elected because 80-year-olds refuse to step down?
How many young lawmakers don’t acquire leadership roles — and miss out on years of experience — because seniority is prized above anything else?
