Sex, lies and gaslighting sparked Capitol riot on Jan. 6

As hotly partisan as the Jan. 6 committee has been from the start, it is right about one thing: The Capitol riot did not happen in a vacuum.

The 64 days between Election Day 2020 and Jan. 6, 2021, were the culmination of the most bizarre, surreal and absurd five years in modern American politics. By the time Jan. 6 rolled around, normal Americans were exhausted, bewildered, frustrated and had no idea who to believe anymore.

Certainly, the political press and politicians in Washington — even officials in the federal government itself — had completely destroyed every last shred of their own credibility.

And everything was happening at such hyper-warp speed that it was impossible to keep up with all the chaos. We were all reeling and shell-shocked from the constant, forced media diet of Trump-Russia-Impeachment-Pandemic-Lockdowns-Race Riots.

If we had turned on the TV on Jan. 6 and instead of a Capitol riot saw reports of dinosaurs roaming up and down the National Mall, most Americans would have shrugged, said that’s amazing and turned the channel.
