The long lens view of this first week of January sees the beginning of a rise out of the cold dark months of winter, but the close up view is quite something else. Grey days, grey streets, grey snow, grey moods. This January sixth we have the added dimension of having to reflect on what occurred this day in 2020 when Americans lost their minds in a frenzy of jingoistic fervor. The MAGA movement’s stated goal of achieving greatness again, paradoxically diminished its greatness by smearing its own Capital in shit. Zoom out and the picture is no less dreary.
