This narrative scares me!!

The power and repetition of words changed the truth of what really happened on J6 .

It reminds me of the evilness and dishonesty of this in coming administration .

They will stop for nothing !!

We the people are going to have to find a way to stop this dishonest and evil group are they will destroy this democracy!!

The right has produced several “documentaries” about Jan 6 - all basically say no violence happened, antifa and/or FBI instigated the riot, Dems are hyperventilating again to shame Trump. There is so much great footage from journalist photographers -a great team of producers needs to put together a film to preserve the story. But it’s also up to journalists, Congressional staff & Democratic Members who were there to keep telling the story. CNN had lots of stories today (1/6/25) from reporters, Capitol police, Congresspeople who were there in 2020. You can tell they’re still traumatized.

There have definitely been multiple fact-based documentaries, off the top of my head - frontline did many, HBO did a very popular one called four hours at the Capitol, A24 made one called The Sixth.

Is there anything we can do to ensure the true history of this day is not obliterated? This is a terrifying day for democracy and this dishonesty is maddening.

The narrative is about to become harder to combat with facts now that Zuck decided to allow the community to fact check on Meta. Ever since good ole KellyAnne decided to present "alternative facts" things have quickly gone downhill. Now opinions, misinformation and disinformation are facts to many people and it will be hard (if not impossible) to ever come back from this. Couple that with the GOP continuing to try and defund education and people's lack of critical thinking skills, it's a scary thought as to what's going to happen in this country.

This breaks my heart. Like so many of us, I watched it lived on CSPAN. This fracture in the common narrative is so dangerous. Also can someone help me? I don’t know where the lie (I assume) came from that the select committee deleted all their evidence. My own Trump voting mother said this to me and I just want to know what started it. She won’t believe me but it helps me to know where she’s hearing things. If I could block fox from her tv I would.
