Honestly I have mixed feelings on these guys. Like, sure, they absolutely did need to be jailed, because trying to overturn an election is extremely dangerous for the country and one cant set the precedent that one can get away with attempting it, but at the same time, these people were lied to, and if the things that they had been led to believe about the election being stolen had actually been true, I cant help but think that something like what was done might have been justified. It feels kinda messed up, then, that the people who had been led into this with misplaced trust and false promises are the ones getting the bulk of the punishment, and not the people who sold them on lies in the first place.

These are also the same types of people who hate people of color and queer folk simply for existing.
They made their choice, and their choice was hatred and willful ignorance. I have zero sympathy.
I have sympathy for the ones who also believe in broad spectrum prison reform.
Oh, that’s none of them?
Okay then.
