The dangerous parallels being drawn will only encourage further anger and possible violence from the American population.
Jacobs said, “We haven’t really done the reckoning with the racial injustice and white supremacy of our past that we need to do. So a truth commission — a lot of people will think of South Africa. We have used them in countries around the world. Basically, what it is is its communities all the way up to the national level having conversations about both the gory and the glory of our history and what happened, both throughout the history of our country and leading up to and on January 6, that we can come to a common narrative, moving forward, of what we want our country to be.”
If a “Truth Commission” is developed, hopefully, it will include individuals with common sense which will keep misguided politicians from making these reckless and irresponsible correlations. The public is not being engaged in effective and healing discourse. Rather, the voices of some are pushing already disconnected lawmakers to overreach and create perceived solutions for the American people.
