The January 6 Hearings Changed My Mind - The Atlantic

"The committee has not answered every lingering question. It remains unclear, for example, whether there was any direct coordination between Trump and the extremist groups, such as the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, that played a central role in invading the Capitol. Perhaps the panel will be able to address this in its written report, which it will need to produce by the end of the year. But morally and politically speaking, the facts on the table so far add up to the conclusion that Trump was much more closely and actively involved in efforts on January 6, 2021, to overturn the 2020 presidential election than the public record had shown."

Jan. 6 hearings, Trump, and a secular white Christian nationalism

…" the shadow gospel seeks to convert American culture, politics and society to protect the interests of the white conservative Christian minority with little regard for the interests of the multiracial, pluralistic majority. It does so by defining and weaponizing the morality of "real Americans," defined as those who align themselves with traditional gender binaries, traditional family structures, traditional social hierarchies. It aims to control what is taught in schools, what kinds of people run for political office, and what personal lifestyle and medical choices are available. It hides behind discourses of freedom, including religious freedom, as a shield against incursion, while simultaneously using the concept of freedom as a sword to undermine the freedoms of others. Perhaps most characteristically, it reframes disagreement of any kind as an attack warranting punishment — some political, some professional, some related to basic safety. In extreme cases, dissent is treated as treason."…
