That'll be one of the unqualified partisan sycophants that hasn't jumped ship yet I'm guessing.
To claim "it is the Houses job to develop evidence" knowing full well that the House Republicans actively prevented evidence from being developed in the House is more evidence that Republicans will do and say anything to try and ensure this will not be a fair trial.
EVERYONE can see what is going on here, but for whatever reason Trump supporters are either happy with the implications or just too dumb to understand them.
Some of them are also “developed” existential nihilists or pseudo-anarchists with a belief that nothing really matters any more and/or their situations cannot get much worse, so let’s enjoy the lights show as the world burns.
I actually talked to one like that this past weekend at hospital. He couldn’t fully articulate how he viewed the world, but as he described why he didn’t care what Trump has done, is doing, or could potentially do in the future, it was fairly apparent he was a sort of nihilist now. And he claimed he used to be a democrat but changed parties after the mills in his small town closed and nearly everyone he knew lost their jobs (entire families losing all of their income at once; I told him that is challenge mancs can fully understand). I do not doubt it happened, and do on some level understand how that could push someone to be more disengaged with the world (rather than more engaged, which is my tendency when met with adversity), but to hear him talk as he did... it really sent shivers down my spine, to be honest. It is just frightening to contemplate there is a large contingent of likeminded souls around the world, and how their lack of caring, in many cases capacity for empathy, whether “reasonably” developed or inherent, is going to impact the course of history.
As alluded to in previous posts by myself, you, and others, Putin and his henchmen long ago realised that he who (ironically) controls and amplifies this contingent often controls governance (especially within the context of democratic norms), and that this sort control is much more cost efficient when waging war than conventional armies and armaments.
We’ve been weaponised for centuries, of course, but new tactics have made such warfare infinitely more responsive and destructive. What used to take years to create, in terms of political movements and cultural shifts, can now be done in days (or even hours).
I genuinely think we’ll all be lucky to see the next decade at this rate. But that’s likely my general pessimism outside of even this political upheaval talking, so I am hopefully wrong in that concern.
Forced optimism to finish this post: clearer minds will prevail? ;-)
