Why people of color should care about the Jan. 6 hearings

[Guno צְבִי]

But there is more at stake than justice for a crime committed.

The last half century has been marked by communities of color, who have been marginalized and disenfranchised, fighting for a seat at the table in American politics: From Black civil rights leaders marching on Washington, to Asian Americans fighting for acknowledgement after being interned during World War II, and Latinos advocating for immigration policies that reflect not only the needs of the receiving country, but the values and rights of immigrants themselves.

But as the Jan. 6 hearings have revealed, the game being played by President Trump and those he represents is not aimed at merely limiting or excluding groups from participation in the American table, but to burn the entire table down. With bombshell after bombshell of shocking testimony on how former president Donald Trump actively tried to incite violence and overturn the outcome of the election on Jan. 6, one thing has become clear: American democracy is in peril.

At the heart of any democracy is the maintenance of free and fair elections. Rule of law, a value once deeply held by the Republican Party, is essential to free and fair elections. In 2000, when the Supreme Court reversed an order by the Florida Supreme Court for a recount of the presidential election in the case of Bush v. Gore, the decision was ultimately accepted by the people. Gore supporters didn’t riot, hang nooses, or bring an armed mob to attack the court and seek out the justices. As the testimony has revealed, Trump not only attempted to pressure Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn the Georgia election outcome with math magic, and activate a mob on Jan. 6, but he continues the onslaught by bullying local election officials — career professionals like Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, an election worker who received death threats and had to go into hiding after Trump and his allies spread false accusations about her.

All Americans and regardless of who they are should care about the January 6th hearings with hopefully criminal liability against tRump an all seditious repukes and their white trash so-called gutter supremacist involved who waged war on the entirety of the U.S as domestic and uncivilized terrorist and its Constitution that applies to all citizens. This is considering the war tRump and repukes, in particular, in the gutter against the U.S. and anything else of a civilized nature is a war that is not only against the 'black guy' but everyone and including idiots who vote against their own interests for seditious repukes who would prefer they all drop dead. To project the realty of it all when it comes to what insurrectionist means as a problem of 'those people only' is that of an asinine fool who refuses to come to terms with reality:

In America’s ‘Uncivil War,’ Republicans Are The Aggressors

In the same speech, Biden warned of the dangers of “a rise in political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism.” This too was accurate. Biden was delivering his address exactly two weeks after a group of supporters of then-President Trump, riled up by his false claims about voter fraud, stormed the Capitol to try to overturn the results of a free and fair election, an act of political extremism and domestic terrorism carried out by at least some people who believe in white supremacy."
