This is the Tom Hartman program.

So we've got a great day today.

We have a whole bunch of topics that I want to bring up.

The op-ed that I published over at Hartman Report yesterday was about how the Republicans

are trying to raise a new generation of basically white supremacists.

And I also want to get into this question of the January 6th Commission.

They're literally cutting and pasting off the 9-11 Commission.

And I'll share with you exactly why that is, in my opinion, a terrible mistake.

Today's piece is up on Hartman Report about Trump's paramilitaries and how they've turned

to Republicans either into bullies or into people who are, shall we say, scared crapless

to use the vernacular.

But there are things that Democrats can do to fight back, and the question is, will they?

If they fail to, will our democracy survive?

And there's an amazing new study about how Trump supporters share the same narcissistic

traits that Donald Trump has.

But I want to start out with this question is the Republican Party actually working all

across the country to intentionally raise a whole brand new generation of basically racist,

right-wing crackpots.

Just imagine if hardcore crazies like Marjorie Trader Green ran most of the school boards

across the country.

Just think about that for a moment.

This is actually the Republican Party's current plan, and they're gaining some real traction
