And duped Trump supporters "legitimately" believed the election was stolen?
You present yourself as occupying some balanced middle ground, separate from "both sides" who "muddy the waters,"
while yourself consistently "downplay[ing] the events overall," elsewhere regularly comparing the Capitol riot to George Floyd protests in Portland
and Minneapolis, exactly as "one side" does. Imagine a general who cannot see the threat differential between an attack on his own command center
and an attack on an outpost.
Seems to me more likely that a large segment of the population then and now has not grasped the implications of an attack on the foundational
legitimizing act of democratic government. Or they do and don't care. They are prepared to put the attacker back in office with greatly enhanced
power, knowing his penchant for criminal, anti-democratic behavior.
I'll be clearer this time so that you don't have to keep posting. The vaccines felt like a big pharma money grab to me.
