    Oh, okay, well I’m not sure to what extent I really agree with that, but then again I’m kinda arguing from the perspective of a domino effect, like the whole “for want of a nail the shoe was lost” sorta deal.

      It’s none of my business what a butterfly in the Amazon does, but I can tell you that the story of the right wing using courts to fuck with our elections began long before any twinkles in Bill Clinton’s eye; I connect the dots as far back as the civil war at least, and our shambolic reconstitution effort that let traitors off the hook and gave slavery a continued existence in our country through other means. The right is a party of traitors and Jan 6 was in the works long before we were born. The Confederacy lost the war, but “won the peace”, so their ideas were never fully quashed. Ever wonder why your history books were made in Texas?
