Waiting Out the Elephant

 I WILL STIPULATE that if, heaven forbid, I were a Republican, or heaven forbidder, a staunch supporter of Donald Trump,I would be strongly inclined to sweep the January 6th insurrection under the proverbial rug like a dead housefly kicked quickly under the nearest couch just before answering the door bell. That's what empahy's all about. And thus it is with the true Republicans and true red Trumpers. With regard to the discernment of Republicans, a quick note: fully one quarter of them believe, or claim to believe, which is the same thing, that the United States government is controlled by a hidden cabal of pedophiles. ore than half of them believe that the Capitol insurrection was a good idea, and that Trump got more votes than Biden. Discernment, we see, has limits, and is not currently in style among conservatives. Yet, there is  hope. Sunlight filters through small cracks. The hundreds of ongoing criminal prosecutions resulting from January 6th will ultimately cumulatively combine to constitute a de facto thorough investigation, the jigsaw pieces will be assembled, the puzzle completed, and truth will win out in the end. And enough of it could transpire soon enough to seriously dampen Republican congressional capture plans for 2022. Another auspicious aspect of the sordid mess is that no actual "investigation" is at all necessary. We already know what happened. Here's what happened" we the American people idiotically elected a person mentally and morally unfit to be president as president, a complete reprobate who refused to accept his failure to be reelected, falsely repeatedly claimed that the election had been stolen from him, and incited an angry mob to riot, to "go to the Capitol and fight". Enough said. Case closed. It all happened on national television, live. Many of the sycophantic criminals have been rounded up and indicted, while the supreme inciter, the criminal at the top of the criminal organization, lurks, the proverbial big white elephant in the middle of the room in plain sight, unseen. we can keep the faith that the truth will win out.Eventually someone notices the elephant and has the courage to say so, the blind old squirrel finds the acorn, and, at the end of a long and arduous witch hunt, there is , after all, a witch.
