[ZERO] Yet Jan. 6 will forever be a prominent part of American history—in ways that few people fully realize.
It was most certainly a fork in the road.
Defining and understanding that historic day requires solid information, full context, and a willingness to look beyond the narratives that began before Jan. 6 was even a few hours old.
Jan. 6 is part of a much larger political and societal movement designed to usher in a "new America," according to Victor Davis Hanson, an American classicist, military historian, and political commentator at the Hoover Institution.
"What’s happened in America is not public opinion but institutional control is driving the United States in a direction that was never intended to go, to the degree that they are saying to America, ’We are morally superior to the old America. This is a new America,’" Mr. Hanson said in an "American Thought Leaders" interview.
"And that gives us the right to use any means necessary to achieve a morally superior end. You are deplorable, you’re irredeemable, you’re a clinger, you’re a semi-fascist, you’re crazy, you’re ultra-MAGA, and you don’t have the right to object to the means that we’re using."
To mark the third anniversary, The Epoch Times offers this guide to Jan. 6 to help the uninitiated and well-versed alike better understand this complex topic.
