Jan. 6 GOP Prebuttal

[Sandy Shanks]

It is readily apparent that Donald Trump is guilty of the charges presented by the House January Six Select Committee.

Donald Trump has made no attempt to provide evidence to the committee of his innocence.

Our country is in very serious trouble. When Americans say a coup attempt to overthrow the elected government is okay with them and put the party responsible back in power, we have a very serious problem.

The forum's Republicans will not respond to these issues.

As expected, Republicans did not respond to the issues in post 258. As do Congressional Republicans, they remain silent when it comes to the overwhelming evidence against Trump and his leading role in the coup attempt to overthrow the elected government.

In the case of the forum's Republicans, their intelligence level may explain their silence. They seem to be uninformed as well.

The Republican Party has captured the minds of those who live in the rural counties of America. Those voters are mostly farmers and rural shopkeepers. They lack education and they are not well-informed. Most of what they know about politics is by word of mouth, otherwise known as gossip.

Moreover, they lack communication skills. The proof is their posts or lack thereof when it comes to defending their party's actions.
