    I don’t understand why you consider Jan 6 to be the defining moment in rolling back your rights but not the election of every other President or congressional body that stripped your rights. You think Jan 6 made your voting rights go away? What was Obama doing for 8 years to bolster your voting rights and keep it away from the fascists? What did they do with Bush after his election meddling?

    I know you’re not ridin with Biden, my point is that you’re hyperfocused on Jan 6 as being this historical moment of change when really your rights have been slowly stripped away during peaceful assembly of government decades before. Can you at least explain why Jan 6 is unique other than vibes and spectacle?
