The Left’s high priestess of political drama has spoken again. Her recent diatribe regarding all things January 6 is a master class in projection, denial, lack of self-awareness, and gaslighting.
Let’s go to the tape:
So, today, January 6, the certification of the last presidential election happened in Washington, and it just happened ministerially and ceremonially, like it’s supposed to. And that contrast with what happened today versus what happened four years ago makes clear the profound difference between the two parties, right?

Had Democrats won the presidential election this year, the whole country openly expected and was preparing for Republicans to go into violent, if not armed revolt. But because, instead, Republicans won, everyone expected and in fact we saw today that Democrats would peacefully accept and participate in the transfer of power.
And when a whole country expects guaranteed violence if one side loses an electoral contest, then the two political parties in that contest are no longer competing in democratic terms anymore. One of those parties is a small-D and capital-D Democratic Party. The other party is something else.
In saying “the whole country openly expected and was preparing for Republicans to go into violent, if not armed revolt,” Maddow deploys one of her favorite rhetorical devices. She asserts, as indisputable fact, with no supporting evidence whatsoever, that which only she has the brilliance to see. She of course then proceeds to build her house of cards premise on this, and other questionable assertions.
I, for one, certainly didn’t expect any meaningful political violence, and certainly no armed revolt if the Democrats won the presidential election. What did Rachel think the point of the Biden DoJ’s scorched earth policy of prosecuting anyone remotely connected to the events of J6 was? It was precisely to put the fear of God, or worse, the U.S. government, into any who would protest another Democratic presidential victory, regardless how questionable it might be.
She then extrapolates from here to state that the two political parties are no longer competing in democratic terms anymore. This is laughable. I would ask Maddow how many primary votes her candidate received. This defending democracy garbage from the Left is the peak of gall. They don’t give a rip about democracy, the only thing they care about defending is raw Democratic Party power and Maddow is an important cog in this machine. One more voice spewing the meticulously coordinated DNC talking points on any given day. Rachel was the undisputed queen of Russiagate!
The walls are closing in, we have Trump’s tax returns… Truth is old school. Narrative is the order of the day.
…how do we get the Republican Party and the Trumpist right to no longer see physical force and armed conflict as the way they’re going to get their way and hold power?
Someone needs to remind Maddow of the BLM and Antifa riots that roiled the country in the summer of 2020. The gist of her piece is to decry Trump’s promise to pardon J6 defendants. I don’t know if she just can’t, or simply refuses, to juxtapose the treatment of the J6 defendants, prosecuted relentlessly and mercilessly, against the treatment of BLM and Antifa rioters, who were barely prosecuted at all. Hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness have become central to Democratic Party identity.
Now, as I mentioned, this is “The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page, deeply conservative. I would take issue there with their characterization of Mr. Trump’s support for law and order. He has repeatedly praised the idea of violence in his name for every year that he has been in public life. And so I would take issue with that.
