What are Trump’s prevarications and peccadillos compared to the prospect of real political progress? Why continue to dredge up January 6 so many years later? That’s what my friends ask me when I express dismay at President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House next year. Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election and disenfranchise 81 million Biden voters, while unfortunate, didn’t succeed, my friends who voted to put the former president back in office tell me.
