Why Are We Coddling White Men?

The first two sessions of the historic January 6th Hearings have been riveting, incredibly informational, and a study in how the nation coddles privileged white men.

Led and guided by the steady authoritative Rep. Bennie Thompson from Mississippi, and executed by Rep. Liz Chaney, Wyoming, and Rep Zoe Lofgren, California, the methodical presentation of facts, videos, and live testimony has delivered everything the nation needed to see and hear, but which a significant portion of the nation has refused to see and hear over the past few years: That Donald Trump, as president, oversaw, planned, funded, recruited, and was the loudest cheerleader and highest executive ever to actively work to end free and fair elections.

The level of illegal activities by Trump are only rivaled by the similar illegal activities by his official White House staff, other cabinet members, personal and government lawyers, media personalities, and of course his immediate family.

None of the aforementioned people have been charged with a crime eighteen months after almost undoing American democracy.

Members of Trump’s team told the nation — most via videotaped dispositions conducted over past year — how they knew that Trump lost and that they repeatedly told him he lost by presenting him with facts, and results that he refused to accept. How they launched spurious lawsuits with false charges of fraud, and how they extended their efforts to various state election officials.
