By the end of January 2021 it was clear he had maintained control of the Republican Party. Everyone who had opposed his actions on J6 except McConnell had trooped down to Florida to ask forgiveness. Poll after poll showed huge number of Republican voters supported his election denying bullshit.

And what did our President do for most of 2021? He treated him as if he wasn’t there. And here we are. Not only that, we still have leaders who think Epstein is a distraction and we should be talking about “the issues.”
