But a part of me seriously doubts it. There will never be the equivalent of a “truth and reconciliation” process in the USA. Even if or when the Democratic Party regains control of all three branches; should have happened after Nixon, should have happened after Reagan, should have happened after Bush I and II, but never did.

The powers that be, which includes all of the MSM, find it imperative to maintain the illusion of the USA as a shining beacon on the hill. And election are all fair and clean. And Senators and Congress people aren’t bought and sold to the highest bidder, and they certainly don’t enrich themselves while in office.

So no, I don’t think there will be trials and accountability. We will have another “national nightmare is over, let’s move forward” moment and all that’s been done, and will continue being done, to destroy democracy will be overlooked, once again.

I sincere hope I am wrong.
