I’ve been watching the Jan. 6 Committee hearings. They take a different kind of attention than we give to mindless entertainment and sports viewing. There are no pretty faces and fit bodies, no celebrities. These hearings are populated with authentic heroes who’ve made tough choices, choices with real personal consequences, to maintain their integrity and affirm their willingness to do what is necessary to protect our democracy.
We see clearly with Vladimir Putin how one man can brutally disrupt the lives of individuals across the globe. We are now seeing how one man, Donald Trump, has also caused the disruption of many lives as well and has egotistically and wantonly threatened democracy in America.
Spiderman, Superman, Aquaman and Top Gun will quickly push aside the names of these Jan. 6 heroes. That, in itself, is a sad statement about America.
