solarbird: (korra-on-the-air)
Rep. Kinzinger's closing statement, going at his own party, telling them straight up: get off of this, get off _all_ of this, or the republic ("this great experiment of ours") will fail.

He's right but I don't think they'll listen. I hope I'm wrong.

Rep. Cheney: It is a series of confessions by Donald Trump's own appointees... and his family. They have come forward and told America the truth.

Also incredibly relevant, but I don't think they'll care. Again, I home I'm wrong.

And the reason I think they won't listen or care is simple:

Facts aren't how they judge truth.

They don't believe all of their bullshit - particularly the conspiracy/stolen election bullshit - because they think it's literally, factually true. They believe all that bullshit because they want to believe it.

And I'm pretty sure neither Rep. Kinzinger nor Rep. Cheney have given them good enough cause to want believe in anything else.
