Discussion Group 3: South (Virtual)

June 16th Topic:

January 6^th: Legitimate Public Discourse or Insurrection? 

We will discuss the House hearings about the events of January 6, 2021.

• What happened?
• Was it a grave threat to our democracy?
• Would it have happened without then-President Donald Trump’s instigation?
• Who participated in the march and riot? (Right-wing militias, Christian Nationalists, Republican politicians, ordinary suburbanites, antifa?)
• Is the committee biased?
• How does this compare to Watergate?
• How well are right-and-left-wing media covering the hearings?
• Do you think Donald Trump should be charged with a crime? 

Join fellow freethinkers to discuss a wide range of topics around morality, philosophy, and life’s big questions. Discussion Groups are moderated forums with preselected topics that anyone who wishes to participate in regardless of background is welcome to do so. The topic for each discussion is announced in advance, sometimes with recommended reading. Each discussion group has a different moderator and topic, and once we return to in person meetings each group will represent different geographical locations.
