Unseen forces? Looked like it was all right out in the open and proud to me.
As much as I believed the Russian collusion stories, never once did I consider storming the Capitol and hanging Trump or Pence. Never thought I and a bunch of folks could break through barricades with impunity. Somehow, all those ideas came with severe consequences I wouldn’t be willing to subject myself to.
Yep. I was likely gullible to believe the stories. But it’s hard for me to have empathy for folks who decided to violently and stupidly follow into lawless behavior and think there would e no repercussions. And for those poor souls “languishing” in sub standard jail conditions…

…you fudged around and found out. Jail isn’t fun and the judicial system takes time for everyone. It’s like that all over, y’all ain’t special.
Should those who “preyed on the gullible” be joining them in jail? Absolutely. And we all know that won’t happen. We’ve effectively been shown that there are those who are above the law.
