And it's the only one I intend to lift in defense of any of them who should choose to throw their lives away for this knuckle-dragging, feces-slinging loser. Though I'm confident the vast majority of them won't.
But, to whatever extent some of them do, they will only prove to the part of the country that wants to stick their heads in the ground (or elsewhere) just what a threat their totalitarian toddler actually poses to the stability of our country. A few news clips of beer-gutted baboons running around with guns shooting up Federal buildings in red states will likely put a sock in the mouth of the Jack del Rios of the world. This will separate the cosplayers from the real lunatics, so if the Insurrection Act has to be invoked (God help us), America will know why.
And don't forget - the people who showed up for Jan 6th were, by and large, comfortably middle class, many of them successful professionals. People who are *actually* driven to the brink of desperation through dire economic peril brought on by factory closures and jobs shipped overseas have neither the time nor the money to hop on a bus or plane and drive halfway across the country to be present for an impromptu CPAC flash mob on the steps of the Capital. Spoiled, petulant, overfed first-world denizens animated by petty cultural grievances and the recreational value of delusional hero-play, do.
So let's get this over with already. Drop the hammer on this buffoon, and let whatever cretins truly believe in him fall where they may.
Well I have a finger for Trump's supporters too!
