What would Christopher Hitchens say about the January 6th insurrection? In this satirical experiment, we reimagine Hitchens’ voice and wit as he delivers a blistering critique of the assault on American democracy.
From his imagined perch “above,” Hitchens dismantles the cowardice, delusion, and authoritarian impulses that fueled the storming of the Capitol. His sharp words cut through the lies and theocratic overtones behind the movement, reminding us why he was one of the fiercest champions of reason and democratic values.
It’s time to bring back Hitchens’ style of argument to take on the crises of our time, showing how his razor-sharp rhetoric still resonates in today’s political battles.
