Ignorance is bliss – until those same people get screwed by the Republicans. (Oooops, too late.)

That people lived thru Trump 1.0 and J6 and decided, “yeah I’d like a second helping of that” speaks volumes about just how stupid we are as a country. It wasn’t a coup this time, we literally voted for this shit.

The mental gymnastics that I’ve listened from MAGAats, in my own family, go through to explain away Jan 6 is flat out astonishing…. And sad. So very very sad.

Sure as hell was for me. I thought the claims about the guy were mostly overblown until that moment.

Answer: many Trump fans were on the side of the rioters, and still are.

There’s a lot of this. Mocking the reporter with a disability, “grab ’em by the pussy”, etc…
Unfortunately a lot of our fellow countrypeople saw that and decided that’s who they wanted to be President. Speaks a lot about the US, unfortunately.

Our government was complicit the day McConnell and others in leadership didn’t push for absolute life prison sentences for everyone who broke into the Capitol, not to mention the asshole who told them to go there.

The day he made fun of the disabled reporter.
I thought that would be it for him.
I was so wrong.

Because straight white Christian people alive today in this country have never, never in their life experienced real oppression. They have been brainwashed to think if someone they feel is less than or a sinner gets equal rights as them that theirs are being taken away. They absolutely can not grasp others having the same liberties as them is a good thing because at their hart they have always used the fact that rights were not equal that they were better than others. And the absolutely are prejudice and hateful towards others and they are so scared that equal rights means those others will treat them horribly as they have treated them.

Because by that point, Trump and co. had so successfully broken political norms that something deemed unacceptable a generation ago could be acceptable today

Simple answer is vote them out. If the counts seem off demand a physical recount of ballots. If they still refuse to accept the will of the American people to say no to policies that clearly hurt our citizens and threaten our democracy then it’ll be there turn to eat cake.

The MAGAs approve, regular republicans use willful blindness and will always vote R, and the Gen Z voters didn’t care or truly understand it. And he blatantly lied to the Latino population.. why they believed it I’ll never know

J6 and Trump mocking a disabled journalist – two prime instances of how I’ve lost total hope in this country and why I lack any ounce of patriotism. Both were reasons for America to abandon Trump. Instead they double and tripled down. Truly sick people live among us

Merrick Garland and The Media.
Garland:
– Waited several months before appointing Jack Smith.
– Congress had to create their own committee to do his job. Congress works far too slow for something this serious.
Media:
– Media reported “both sides” despite knowing one side was lying.
– Initial coverage did demonize Trump but with zero activity from Garland the media gave Trump the microphone instead.
Appeals:
– The abuse of appeals was beyond excessive. Every move was intentionally delayed through appeals that stretched cases far beyond “swift trial”.
While there were many who could be blamed for this, it all still falls on Merrick Garland for not prioritizing Trump charges and cleaning up the election cases. Fake electors. Missing ballots. False accusations. It all happened with no punishment. And now with dominion being purchased by an election denier and ICE being deployed to voting areas specifically to intimidate brown people, then the chances of ever getting a fair election are very very slim.

Because some people truly believe it was an inside leftist democrat job. It was the FBI, it was the CIA, it was anyone but MAGA. They are not the party of accountability, but the party of blame..

Because 50% of the country desires dictatorship.
