    I confess that I really cannot grasp how people are not shocked & angry at the Capitol riot, or how - besides pure motivated reasoning - anyone can deny that it was the foreseeable consequence of Trump's leadership over 2 monthshttps://www.nationalreview.com/2021/01/a-reply-to-the-federalist-on-impeachment-and-mob-rule/ …

        I get the political calculations for Republican elected officials. I get the Constitutional objections. But it requires active denial to miss that it was Trump's choices, deeds, & words that led us to that pass.

        Someone told me today that the riot was the people acting against a government determined to take their liberty. I can’t get my head around that.

        That was what some of the rioters honestly believed! But then ask yourself who convinced them of that.

        Honestly a vote to acquit is a vote saying they didn’t think Trump was smart enough to foresee the reasonable and predictable consequences of his actions.

        A lot of us have riot fatigue. For you this is the first time you've be shocked but the rest of america was in shock after each city was torched. It was just DC's turn ...why should DC be so sacred with the other cities weren't...

        I was also loudly against those. However, an attack on the Capitol itself during the constitutional process takes things to the next level.

        Yes, many Republicans are operating in bad faith... purely for political reasons

        The only rebuttal required is to imagine the historically high dudgeon The Federalist crowd would be steeping in if it was a Dem president encouraging a lefty mob to attack the Capitol.

        Democrats could have created space for Republicans to be shocked & angry at the Capitol riot. So why didn’t they?

        I was pretty shocked when there was rioting in my city, Dan; when the helicopters flew over my house, when I could see smoke from my front door, etc. But the Media said it wasn't a big deal-that it was mostly peaceful and in fact a good thing. So, you know, grasp that.
