The ‘other side’ of that situation had already chosen to present its own case via over 60 failed and frivolous lawsuits, attempts to overturn an election, threats to election officials, a campaign to push asinine lies by a person at the top of the media and political hierarchy with the greatest visible public podium of the Presidency, and - ultimately - by deciding that no amount of facts and reasoning would be enough to sway them, choosing instead to deal with their chagrin by crashing their way into the Capitol, law enforcement be damned.
The only folks whose ‘trust in the system has been broken’ never chose to believe in
the system anyway once it disagreed with what
they wanted, and now they’re angry that the rest of the Nation might hold some of them accountable for their BS.
The new whining about
a price to be paid is merely an extension of the same lie, by the same folks.
So it was a tit for tat? Lovely. I agree with you. It comes across exactly as you describe, just a one-sided rant and theater because those other kids had a rant and theater first.
Only if you consider every process of fact-finding or justice to be a ‘tit for tat’ that must be eschewed to protect the tender sensibilities of people who do stupid or illegal crap. If that causes you to lose your faith (whatever that undefined faith was) in the system (however you selectively decide what that is at the moment), then you’re in a bit of a jam, having ceded all moral or procedural ground.
In the meantime, the drop boxes and vote by mail and after-dark counting of 99.7% ballots for a single candidate will continue so what difference does it make?
It won’t make a difference to folks as yourself who want to believe in the conspiratorial bullshyte you just repeated there. But your anger at others for asking that you either
put up or shut up by making your case with facts is noted, as is your excuse-making for the illegal and destructive approach taken by the folks you’re defending.
Anyone can stack up what was claimed by the MAGA fanbois against what the J6 committee has presented. MAGA World has little, if anything, to show for virtually all of their claims and nothing to justify the excuses for their behavior. On the other hand, J6 World doesn’t seem to be doing much more than shining a flashlight on MAGA World’s own claims and behavior. And that angers you, and makes you claim that you’ve lost faith in the system, and then you threaten the rationals with an unstated ‘price that must be paid’.
If you want to be the problematic and dishonest rebel without a cause, and without any facts by your side, then no one is going to convince you otherwise. Stand on that side all that you want.
Your life is your life, as the man once said.
