A response from Benjamin Harnwell, chairman of the Dignitatis Humanae Institute, to the events in Washington D.C. on January 6:
“For those who revere democracy, the only legitimate way to affect change is through the ballot box. Sometimes your side wins, and sometimes it loses.
That said, the disconcerting displays we have seen in the US both over the summer and now over Epiphany are the result of what happens when millions and millions of people feel themselves deliberately locked out of a society mismanaged by elites who brazenly make themselves richer as the people grow poorer.
MAGA supporters spent four years watching the political establishment annul their president’s mandate and legitimacy through judicial activist court injunctions, outrageous congressional inquiries and groundless impeachments. And now that same political establishment condescendingly tells Trump supporters that they must recognise the results of an election!
In my experience living as a guest in Italy for over ten years, I am extremely alert to a similar degree of anger, contempt and disgust among Italians towards their own political class. Let the lessons be learnt before it’s too late.”
That’s fair background for the frustrations, not to mention the tyranny of “lock-downs,” but the key here is the election being so blatantly questionable. There’s a large swath of the population seeking a transparent review of the election, and have been dismissed like “conspiracy theorist” unfairly. The legacy media’s been very complicit in it too, anyone paying attention to the cognitive dissonance between what the media reports and what sneaks past the censors… borders on Pravda-type narratives. Truly dystopian what Twitter, Facebook/IG have done with Trumps communications to the people.
I agree wholeheartedly with each and every word written.
Why are so many people so blind to the obvious truth? In spite of the shamefully displayed anti Trump MSM media hammering their leftist rhetoric full of lies and omissions, I never stop wondering about the seeming lack and will of people to even dare questioning what they are being served.
Still, many see hopes for the future, since Trump helped millions of ordinary people, so despised and looked down at, ignored, by the democratic elites, to finally being able to understand the depths of the deceit. The attacks on American Western Christian culture, the abandonment by an elite who has grown ever more powerful and unashamedly rich. Millions of these ordinary Americans have lost their livelihood and savings. They were locked in for long periods in 2020. While Democrats demonstrators in thousands was allowed. Deadly violence by Antifas and BLM, the burning of shops and houses, the destruction of Catholic statues of great saints was tolerated or even encouraged by some democratic governors.
We need to pray much for America.
There were dozens of allegations presented to courts and election officials and ZERO confirmed cases of fraud. Why do you pedal this lie? The president’s own attorney general, his FBI appointee, his Vice President, the Republican election officials of Ga., among others, called his claims BASELESS. Do you want to feed the paranoia that exploded in an attack on Congress on Jan. 6.? Why? Stop this shameful conspiracist claptrap. Please.
