On
January 6, 2021 in our country there was, as most know, a nefariously
violent attempt at the Capitol by right wing fascist-like plotters such
as the Proud Boys, Oathkeepers and others to overthrow our Democracy,
overturn a fair election and negate the freedoms attendant to it. At
the same time they, and most important to the plot, would place at the
apex of political power the twice impeached one time president Donald J.
Trump, to illegally secure for him the reins of forever power. A nice
gig if you can get it!
We
know the 9:00 p.m. broadcast on MSNBC of the Rachel Maddow Show was
shortened, to my dismay, to a once a week Monday broadcast of her show
because, she said, she wanted to apply her storytelling craft and
historical expertise to other entertainment venues both nonfiction and
fiction alike. She is presenting to us in podcast form a work entitled
"Ultra" -- Episodes 1 and 2 which are available for streaming today.
It is called "Ultra", I think, because the podcast deals with a plot by ultra rightwing extremists to overthrow a duly elected government. Sound familiar?
Rachel
Maddow's podcast Episode 1 and 2 out today is a historical narration of
a time in the 1940s not unlike our own where totalitarian groups
plotted to overthrow the nation's democracy and install, in Hitler-like
fashion, a strong rightwing
extremist
leader who would be president for life.
The
crudeness of the action by rightwing extremists on January 6, cannot be
overstated. The damage to the Capitol -- the premier symbol of our
Democracy --, offices of the House Speaker defiled not to mention even
defecation on the premises were incredulously observed.
I have pasted the link to "Ultra" Episode 1 and 2 below for your enjoyment and entertainment (it will entertain
you) or I have pasted the link below for your historical edification to
try to ensure at the precipice of our 2022 very important midterm
elections, that this attempt by Facist-like extremists be roundly
subverted and our system of government saved. If we go back to business
as usual it is certain, I believe, that the violent attempt on January
6, 2021 will happen again.
PLEASE VOTE AND VOTE DEMOCRAT UP AND DOWN THE TICKET.
