We need a Truth & Reconciliation Commission similar to what South Africa did following the end of apartheid. But before that we need a full report from an independent commission to investigate what the hell really happened on January 6. Thanks to social media, this should be a lot easier than investigating the JFK assassination.

You're right. We need a T&RC to examine the unrest, to examine racial disparities, to set us up to fly right. It feels like we bungled post-Civil War. We bungled post-Watergate. We have a chance to do this right (and I'm not talking about hangings or putting people in stocks, but you have to start talking about accountability and what is truth and all these big-picture things we've skated over. Yeesh. It's going to be a long 2021 -- or a fruitful one.
