One of most enduring and self-indicting images from yesterday’s assault on the nation’s capitol was the photograph of Josh Hawley facing the mob of insurrectionists with a raise clinched fist thereby affirming and abetting the attempted coup about to unfold before our eyes.
As we have previously stated, Mr. Hawley stands poised to inherit the Trump legacy of lawlessness as the titular leader of a GOP now transformed into a cult of aggrieved zealots dedicated to the hopeless cause of maintaining white supremacy while the nation undergoes a long-over due and welcomed transition to a multicultural and ethnically diverse society that more accurately reflects the reality of an emerging democratic representation of who we actually are as a people. Stanford and Yale educated, Hawley hopes to advance his personal political ambitions by becoming the freshly scrubbed, meticulously sanitized, and properly credentialed face of 21st century American fascism. Yesterday was an ominous precursor to the havoc Hawley and his minions would plan to inflict on an otherwise forward-advancing and hopeful majority of citizens equally dedicated to the realization of the American dream of a truly authentic democracy.
