That all makes sense. I wish my family wasn’t so garbagey about trump. I lost a ton of respect for them because they literally can’t be bothered to care about anything besides abortion being evil. When confronted with Jan 6, trump is magically the only person on earth for them who isn’t guilty by association, because clearly the traitors did this very much against Trump’s wishes 🤮
Up to this point, I had more or less given Trump the benefit of doubt. I had figured that riling up a base telling them it’s not over is the kind of thing that could lead to violence. However, nothing so far linked directly to Trump against the most charitable interpretation of events that Trump had just let it happen with no knowledge of a plan to overthrow government, and for all intents he would have wanted to peacefully transfer power to the rightful winner of the election. The evidence here disproves that, he wanted to stay president by any means possible, was warned by Mike Pence and told repeatedly to step down. He was aware of potential consequences and when the events of Jan 6 transpired he wilfully withheld taking any action, and his “so what?” comment tells me his inaction wasn’t due to shock or surprise.
I wish the facts mattered to my family but they just don’t. They’re convinced anything they don’t already believe about trump is a lie unless it makes him look good.
The reality is they’re just too mentally lazy and fragile to rethink anything. You should’ve heard the conversation I recently had with them about capital punishment. It was deflating to say the least

Now I don’t expect you to waste time and energy on topics you don’t want to talk about with that family, but I wonder if you’ve seen the latest batch of unsealed evidence from Jack Smith’s filed motion on the 2020 election case… (key takeaways).
