Four years ago today, a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election. It was an unprecedented assault on our democracy—a day of broken windows, Confederate flags in the Rotunda, and violence against law enforcement officers.

But for millions of Americans, that’s not the story anymore.

Thanks to a relentless right-wing media machine—cable outlets like Fox News and Newsmax, influencers like Tucker Carlson and Benny Johnson, and platforms like Truth Social, X, and Meta—January 6th has been rewritten. For some, it’s now seen as a “normal tourist visit” or even a “false flag” orchestrated by the left. For others, it’s a story of patriotism and resistance.

We can’t let their lies become the narrative. If you’re ready to help build a progressive media network strong enough to fight back against Fox News and MAGA misinformation, can you chip in $25 now to support COURIER’s mission? [[link removed]]

For years, Donald Trump’s allies in the right-wing media have laid the foundation for what comes next: Trump’s promise to pardon January 6th rioters on his first day back in office. It’s a brazen attempt to rewrite history, reframing an act of violence as one of patriotism.

This whitewashing isn’t just a political strategy; it’s a chilling hallmark of authoritarian regimes—something we associate with Putin’s Russia, not the United States.

By normalizing the insurrection, Trump and his media allies are erasing the trauma, rewriting the violence, and emboldening the same forces that attacked democracy four years ago.

They’re counting on disinformation to shield their plans for the future. The justification machine is already in overdrive, crafting narratives that defy reality and give MAGA loyalists permission to do it all again. Or worse.

But here’s the truth: January 6th wasn’t patriotism. It wasn’t resistance. It was an attack on democracy and the gravest violation of our Constitution by any president in history.

That truth matters.

At COURIER, we’re ensuring it’s never erased. Our progressive media network is working to deliver fact-based reporting directly to communities where MAGA propaganda thrives. We’re countering the lies with facts, fighting to keep the truth front and center, and protecting democracy from authoritarian disinformation.

If we’re going to stand up to Trump’s propaganda machine and the MAGA media empire, we need your help. Chip in $25 now to help COURIER expose the lies, defend democracy, and ensure the truth about January 6th is never forgotten. [[link removed]]
