Will you watch it? Will you miss it? What do you expect from it?
Yes. Probably ordering pizza for the occasion.
My expectation is that it will change nothing and I'll need to avoid media and social media for a few days until everyone retreats to their respective echo chambers.
As a side note regarding echo chambers, as I pointed out to my daughter this morning - it's being aired live on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, ABC News and perhaps others I'm missing. Fox in DFW will instead air "Masterchef" and Fox News will be airing their normal primetime programming of the two worst people in the world. "Fair and balanced" indeed.
What "respective echo chambers"? No, in all seriousness there is no "two sides" in this. The orange turd incited the insurrection. The only reason he will get away with it, is because he has still a big enough base that if he were to actually have to go to prison, his base would try to start a civil war. But it most certainly would cause a severe uptick in more white terrorism. Some of the lower hanging fruit may get busted in all this, but the former guy is a great mafia boss, and is still too insulated to be touched so far.
The orange turd was laying the ground for a second win, which he lost way before he even ran for election the first time. If he does not get the nomination, he has set the stage for the GOP to use his model. But if they manage to nominate someone who isn't the former guy but not bombastic and looks neutral, but isn't, that person could potentially be even more dangerous than the former guy.
I am NOT exaggerating here. The GOP has been doubling down for decades now, and they are only interested in being the only power. They have no interest in reality.
