Time To Say Goodbye - Are We Already Forgetting about January 6th? with John Ganz

Hello!

Today we have a belated 1/6 anniversary special with repeat guest John Ganz, whose great book “When the Clock Broke” can be ordered here and whose essential substack can be read here. We discuss how the public will remember January 6th and whether it might already be fading from the collective memory. What do we make of it today after last November’s election? How do we think Trump will treat 1/6, whether the people in jail who are now pleading for pardons or the lasting imprint it may have placed on the public trust?

We also talk about Trump’s “plans” to annex Greenland.

Enjoy!
