This will likely be my most popular Genuary contribution judging from all the boosts on Mastodon. Tried converting to GIF for upload to Tumblr but it seems to have lost some fidelity in the process

IT’S BEEN A SURREAL TIME: The January 6th insurrection in Escher’s hand
Recently, it feels to me like we in the U.S. are living in a Kafka novel. I’m watching as a large number of my fellow Americans seem to be ready to tear down our democratic republic to install the racist, sexist, lying, bullying, traitorous Trump as a dictator for life.🤦🏻♀️
As outlined by the January 6th committee, the Capitol riot was the logical conclusion of a slow moving coup attempted by Trump and certain members of the GOP in the hopes of overturning the 2020 election. All based on Trump’s false claims that the election was “rigged.”
And yet a large number of Americans don’t seem to care and Fox News’ main cable outlet actually not only refused to broadcast the January 6th committee’s first prime-time session on the Capitol riot, they reportedly used it’s prime time lineup to offer a “commercial-free rebuttal” of the committee’s findings.
Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow must be turning in their graves!
Consequently, when I saw a segment of the video (taken from the USCH01 Crypt South CAM) that the January 6th committee played during their June 9th prime-time session ...
I couldn’t resist pairing it with this surrealist, colorized print of M.C. Escher’s January 1935 lithograph of “Hand with reflecting sphere” (”Self-portrait in spherical mirror”):
After all, surreal times call for surreal images.
