THIS is why Dems are lying about Jan 6th.
The MSM is obsessed with painting Jan. 6th as an "ongoing" threat to our Democracy (ie. NYT's "every day is jan 6th now" ) because most Americans don't want Schumer to abolish the filibuster.
The Dems NEED a crisis ("jan 6th is still happening, threatening our democracy!" ) so they can claim to be the saviors...
In this case, the Dems will "save" us from the "ongoing insurrection" by passing their election power grab legislation. Funny how that works, right? Create a crisis... claim you're the savior... push your pre-existing agenda as a "fix."
Their "fix" IS a fix... it will fix elections to favor Democrats forever. It's a federal power-grab of state controlled elections. It will cement Democrats' power in the federal govt in perpetuity.
The Democrats know they can't pass this horrible bill in the Senate thanks to the filibuster. They'd need GOP support, which they'll never get. They're desperate because the GOP is gonna back at least one if not both chambers of Congress in 2022.
But how can Dems destroy the filibuster when 60% of Americans want Biden to make his radical policies LESS radical & more bipartisan vs abolishing the filibuster & ramming through partisan bills?
Well, the answer is simple: The Democrats must create a crisis, a "threat to our Democracy"... People must fear the crisis... Dems will then claim to save people from the crisis, to save our democracy...
The ONLY way to save us, Democrats will say... Is to abolish the filibuster, ram through a federal takeover of elections, cement Democrats in power for the foreseeable future. THAT is why the MSM is obsessed with painting Jan 6th as an "ongoing threat to our Democracy."
