I actually don’t think they care about winning. The pundits will stay rich win or lose. They’ll dine with Trump and kneel at his alter and grow their following. If you’ve heard of Jesse Kelly, I used to listen to him until he exposed himself as a Matt Gaetz. He ran for office a couple times and said “we don’t care if we win, we just love the fight”. Love to scream loudly and grow a support base, not win and actually get anything done. I’d wager the majority of the right wing has become that and it’s deeply saddening to me as I used to look up to many of them. Now it’s clear most of them just say what the base wants to hear, nothing less

From what I have seen from the big release of the videos, there isn't nothing new and certainly no smoking gun that changes the reality of what happened. It was violent and a national disgrace. If there is a conspiracy, investigate why the Capital police didn't get the support when they needed it. I do have many questions about that.

Yes, politically damaging. Burn, rob, break and destroy as a Democrat- meh. J6 is hyperbole - A mess, and not a insurrection. Half the country has a problem with the voting system - period. Without voter confidence, there will be another cantankerous tour of the DC Country Club. Did somebody step on a duck ?

>>Burn, rob, break and destroy as a Democrat- meh

Talk about a straw-man. Lol.

>>J6 is hyperbole - A mess, and not a insurrection.

No, it was literally an insurrection by every definition of the word. Sorry you hate dictionaries and the English language.

>>Half the country has a problem with the voting system - period.

Period? Lol. Uh, no. I myself have problems with the voting system, and have written about how the system could be made better. There's a big difference between that position and buying into the idiotic lie that the 2020 election was stolen.

>>Without voter confidence, there will be another cantankerous tour of the DC Country Club.

Not a tour. A deadly insurrection (which you clearly had no problem with), or if that entirely applicable phrase offends you so much, deadly 'riot' works too. But millions of Americans still believe the election was stolen, not because of evidence of such (there isn't any), but because the Orange Man told them so. If he would have conceded the race like a big boy, people like yourself wouldn't have bought into this pathetic fairy tale in the first place, and January 6 would have never happened.
