Another signal the Republicans are not changing course and are willing to triple down in favor of Trump and against the best interests of the country.
Several House committees are launching investigations into the attempted assassination and comments by Speaker Johnson and others appear aimed at showing the Secret Service lapses in security are evidence for the deep state conspiracy they've been working to fabricate since 2016.
They see this as another way to blame Biden and the Democrats (since the rhetoric argument fell flat due to their multi-year hypocrisy in support of Trump's actual fomenting of political violence on Jan 6th and many other incidents) as part of their well established martyr narrative.
One has to believe now that not only was:
-Russia's interference in the 2016 election a hoax
-Both impeachments were fraudulent
-Jan 6th was a staged Antifa and FBI event
-All the other attempts to steal the 2020 election never happened
-The now dismissed classified docs case never existed
-The conviction by a jury of his peers in NY on 34 felonies was bogus
-The federal and state trials on the attempts to steal the 2020 election are fabricated
but one needs to sign onto the ludicrous claim that the deep state run by Biden & the Dems, because their legal cases failed, tried to have Trump killed instead.
That is quite a laundry list of lies. The facade of calling for unity will vanish as soon as the Republican convention begins. As the head of the Heritage Foundation, Kevin Roberts said, "...the country is in the midst of of a second American revolution that will be bloodless if the left allows it to be".
So, as long as the majority of Americans cave and let it happen, we will have a revolution in our country in direct and complete repudiation of the first (and real second) American revolutions. IMO, the real second revolution was the aftermath of the civil war when the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments were passed and added to the Constitution.
I refuse to sign up for that ever. I believe and hope the majority of Americans agree with me. I'll stand with Ben Franklin who famously stated, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
