      1. There's a definite push among the far right ghouls to exonerate the Jan. 6 rioters & make Ashli Babbitt into a martyr. Trump is now on board and, given experience of last 5 years, this is likely to become more and more a mainstream GOP position. This is very dangerous.pic.twitter.com/aZ6b9373zt

      2. It's unclear whether Democrats have a response ready for this Trumpian embrace of Jan. 6 with Ashley Babbitt as a Horst Wessel-style martyr. It's a mythos in the making and a purely legal investigation can't refute a myth.

      3. On a lower, popular level you see a few liberals responding to Ashly Babbitt sanctification with gleeful derision: "she fucked around & found out" etc. This is also a mistake, not just callous but also shifting blame away from Trump.pic.twitter.com/6PpvoAtypw

          4. Babbitt's death, like everything else about Jan. 6, should be investigated. But main details of story are clear & should turn focus not on her or cop who shot her but the president who incited the riot.

          Yes. Objectively, she committed to an action and there were consequences, but she was also clearly unwell and being influenced and manipulated by lies. I wish that her family had gotten her help and that she was alive today, but that's not what happened.

          Better yet imagine how many thousands of dead there would be if it were not right wing psychos storming the capital. Thousands?

          Hard disagreement here. Ashli Babbit helped smash in the door to the Capital and was shot when she attempted to break in. It's condescending to ignore her choices, no matter that she was egged on by Trump.

          Too much too many of us have not learned to get out of the pull of cliques & crowds & mobs. We are at risk to become playthings of molar-scale dynamics of the kind that brought the great wars of the 20th century & the Stalinist terrors.

          Hardly gleeful in my mind. More that it's an example of how things are likely to shake out. If extremist militias want to take up arms against the rest of us, they can expect to get put down unceremoniously. Do you think this ends any other way? Let's think like General Sherman.
