Dark mythology on the horizon.
"America loves to rebrand its sins as myth. In four years, MAGA loyalists have recast the January 6 insurrection as resurrection."

Amazing work by @nategowdy.bsky.social and my fave freelance editor @lisavandambates.bsky.social in the CJR. Give them a follow!

When editing, my goal is to get an author to say what they mean - we untangle all the threads of what they think, what they notice, what they see, together. Grateful to have spent a year processing this day with @nategowdy.bsky.social and to @columjournreview.bsky.social for publishing this piece.
Thanks to Columbia Journalism Review for commissioning this piece in the days following Inauguration. Working on it really helped me to process so much happening all at once.
