We threw out the entire script we had ready for tonight's show to bring you something more important—the undoing of representative democracy in an American city. Join us to watch and listen to the hysteria, abuse, and threats hurled for hours at the meeting of the Burlington City Council on August 14. Radical activists, anarchists, and black supremacists screamed, lied, cajoled, and threatened the mayor and the city council. For what? For having the temerity to investigate the management practices of a former black employee in the city's "Racial Equity Inclusion and Belonging" department. The opportunistic white politicians who hitched their wagon to these crazed anarchists to get the lunatic vote have now arrived at the only destination that was ever possible. This is a difficult episode to watch, but not as difficult as it will be for all of us if we don't notice what's happening and stand up before it's too late.
