About that RNC document...that the RNC would put this out is not surprising at all. As with all things involved in Trumpism, there is no bottom. One simply doesn't exist. But the line that got my attention is the one stating that the J6 insurrectionists were "ordinary citizens" being persecuted for having been "engaged in legitimate political discourse." I'm a little late to the party here, so if you've already addressed this, apologies. But do you think that the blackhearts who wrote this really believe it, that they truly think violence is simply a Clausewitzian politics by other means and is therefore a legitimate political act? Or is this just one more attempt at simply whitewashing a dark and dangerous act that in the end did not succeed?

Your rules stated that if you answered a question, you would then ask a question, and honor would require an answer. If by chance that turns out to be the case here, please honor my request not to ask me about this. Anything else, ok. While we are all grown-ups here at The B, I fear any response from me on this particular subject at the moment would be inappropriate in even the most adult company, regardless of what you think the motivation behind this is.
