The press, as you have pointed out for years, has aided and abetted the Republican Party. Since 2010 all they have done is battle against Obamacare, give tax breaks to the wealthiest, and defend gun ownership in the wake of an endless streak of mass shootings. Did I miss when the Republicans in Congress came up with their own healthcare bill, a plan for Infrastructure, immigration, and climate change? Right, because they haven't and they couldn't care less. Trump is not gone. His ideology is being nurtured by a party that is completely in line with one thing. Secure the extremist Trump voters because it's the only way they can achieve power. And the scary thing is, if the Democrats screw up these two years holding the majority, the House and Senate will flip in 2022 much like it did during President Obama's first term. The Dems must be perfect during these next two years and must show the public that what they are promoting benefits everyone, especially the middle-class and the poor. They must continue to fight the extremism now masquerading as the Republican Party. Biden, who is assembling a brilliant Cabinet and the Democrats are on their own. There will be no help coming from the mainstream press. If an insurrection that has caused the death of six people won't persuade the DC press how extreme and dangerous the Republican Party has become, nothing will.

I think we should give this Republican Party the same attention we give any other right wing conspiracy based fringe organization. None. No oxygen at all. Instead media should focus on what is being done in healthcare and climate change But they won’t.
