Agreed, but like most political gifts the Democrats have a knack for finding ways to screw it up. They are very timid, worried about their own positions and disorganized in making a coherent and strong case. They refuse to use the power the people granted them to protect our constitution and republic from the clearly fascist turn the Republican party has taken. They fumble around, repeat empty words and appear weak to the anti-American forces lining up in this country.
It smells of the Weimar Republic to me unfortunately - the Democrats have lost their conviction, lost their ability but also the character to lead. They are stuck in a tunnel groping to find the exit. The Republicans, OTOH, know exactly what they want and have full conviction not only that they will get it, but that they deserve to get it.
It has become a similar pattern unfortunately in line with McConnell stealing a SC justice, the Mueller investigation, both impeachments and January 6th.
January 6th, which is probably, outside of Watergate, the best political gift ever given is not only being minimized, but has become a rallying cry for the Republicans instead. They've been allowed to twist reality into a weapon to hammer the Democrats with repeatedly.
It is mind boggling how a Democratic President, mainly elected because he was not Trump, and a Democratic Congress have left the investigation of January 6th to a select committee in the House.
Biden and the leadership should have formed an independent commission with full investigative powers, based on the 9/11 model, to fully expose January 6th and report out to the Justice Dept. Then Justice would decide to proceed with charges or not, but the truth would be known to all and have full bipartisan weight. The Democrats have all the evidence, all the moral authority and many of the people ready to support them, but they have proven incapable of the task unfortunately.
Any report that does come out has already been dismissed as partisan and corrupt. Just like the Mueller report, it will an instant heavy paper weight for your door. If the Justice Dept attempts to pursue charges against any of the many guilty parties, it will be again perceived through the fake news prism the Republicans have instituted to deceive at least 40% of the populace. If the report is delayed past the mid-terms and the Republicans take back control, the committee will be squashed along with any report.
The Republicans continue to play chess while the Democrats play checkers. Once more, it is up us the American people to fill the gap and defend our country's future. The Republicans want to take us back to the 1920s when white male power was supreme and everyone else knew their places. Christianity was strong and congregations were obedient. Education followed strict guidelines consistent with the larger culture. Family values were king and exceptions were discouraged. Life was simple and pure. Like the other current fantasies peddled by Xi, Putin, Orban, Kim Jong-un; the Republican vision for our future should terrify everyone. It does not have to happen. We can stop it.
