The president's anniversary remarks caution against whitewashing January 6, yet they simultaneously risk sanitizing the insurrection's significance while expressing a false sense of decorum.
His claim to uphold the peaceful transfer of power contrasts sharply with the actions of the incoming president, who symbolizes the very insurrection he condemns.
The invitation to the incoming president exemplifies a troubling normalization of insurrectionary politics, undermining the severity of the threat to democratic norms.
Reflecting on January 6, we must confront the danger of misremembering essential historical truths that expose the fragility of our democratic institutions.
