The Rittenhouse case demonstrates something that, insanely, in my view, people still haven’t internalized. We all have the same evidence. We’ve all seen the same videos. Your opponents aren’t dumb or uneducated. The disagreements go much deeper.

I don't know why any of these people were arguing self defense or crossing state lines. "he killed one of our own, he should go to prison" or "he supports my political party, he can do no wrong". That's all you need.

I almost wish people would just do the former, because I don’t know who they think they’re fooling with the latter behavior. Everybody on my timeline with two brain cells clinking together sees right through it and ends up despising these people even more with their dishonesty.
