(1) Jimmy Kimmel spent 18 mins last night with Mike Lindell on his show. I recommend watching it.

It provides an insight into how things got to the point of thousands storming the Capitol & why Trumpers still say it wasn't them & it wasn't that bad.

(2) True, there are some laughs to be had, & kudos to Kimmel for deftly enticing him to reveal things he shouldn't reveal. Comedy is more effective than rage.

Trump's inner circle includes anyone he thinks might be useful in some way. Then he ditches them. The list is long.

(3) Lindell is dumb as a rock. He's being sued for making claims like he made even in this interview. That's gotta lead to consequences in the proceedings.

Giuliani was just raided. Sidney Powell admitted she lied. Lin Wood's day is coming. They're all up to their necks in it.

(4) Most of what Lindell says in the interview are basic sales tactics. He shows us what Trump would be like if he had less money, and hadn't been trained so well by his father. Lindell is like Trump with the mask fully down.

We need to learn from all this.

(5) It doesn't matter to me whether you're left, right, or indy. We all need to draw lessons from the past five years and think about what we each can do to put things right.

Those who don't want to help, revert to far right or far left tropes. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

(6) For me it's not right vs left. It's moderates vs extremists. The law-abiding vs the condoners of violence. The pandemic fighters vs the reality deniers. The courageous vs the cowardly. The wise vs the gullible.

We need more Eugene Goodmans, and fewer Mike Lindells.

See what I mean?
