Harris tells Colbert, in first interview out of office, that the U.S. system is 'broken'

15. I think the democratic leadership "knows something" dreadful.

Remember that they went radio silent for months after the election. Maybe they strongly suspect or have actual knowledge that election was hacked in some way. Maybe the election was fair, but they know or strongly suspect that Trump is actually a Russian plant. Maybe there is indeed a video of Trump fucking a child or snuffing one. Does someone metaphorically have a gun to their heads? Maybe we've been contacted by extraterrestrials that have laid down the law that we must reduce our population - or else. However crazy you think the foregoing sounds, the deafening silence from our leadership that does not speak substantively about how we are in the middle of an actual fucking coup, is more than strange. I can't help feeling that the silence is a result of a kind of privileged "the public can't handle this..." kind of attitude. Of course, depending on how outrageous or horrifying the truth may be, their reticence may be justified.

I guess to sum up - I'm early sixties, and have be through many election cycles. My honest feeling is that something is seriously OFF about all this. I don't just mean Trump and the Heritage Foundation, et al. I mean the silence our "opposition" leaders with the exception of a handful. Disbanding the CDC's vaccine advisory panel and gutting the NIH give me serious pause and even a "12 Monkeys" vibe.
