The real – and far scarier – reason Republicans think Biden is illegitimate | Thomas Zimmer

Many conservatives don’t think the 2020 election was stolen. But they believe democracy itself has betrayed America, by allowing the ‘wrong’ people to take charge

I believe Mrs. Thomas falls into this school of thought:

"Conservatism" is no Longer Enough

All hands on deck as we enter the counter-revolutionary moment.

Typical authoritarian mindset. In Russia at the moment, Putin agents are painting things like “enemy of the motherland” on the doors of peace activists and others labeled as “anti-Russian”. We have a similar mindset here among some, as to who is a “true American”, and who is not. Mrs. Thomas made clear in her texts where she stands.

I haven't lost hope that tomorrow, when(if) you roll outta bed, the curtains will be up and you'll see the sunshine again.

I see conservatives whom I consider the top ranked thinkers of the group (Sonnie Johnson for example), out there talking about how the new Trump control group is cutting the feticide/infanticide protestors out of the inner circles. Matt Schlappies, lets say. The Cuban refugees who are focused on just ripping Biden and other personalities, using that term very loosely.

I agree with the general concern about "authoritarianism" but find it incredible that you claim to object to authoritarianism. You're the true prototype, imo. Well, no. Actually I blame the people who write the stuff you read, and you blind patriotism for it all.

It's human nature, I suppose, when a worm crawls out from a hole and gets scared of cooking in the sun, and needs to go back under some dirt. It's as hard for people to get out of a rut.

Wanting government to solve problems is the root of all authoritarianism A few lexicographical transformations gives us "Money is the root of all evil."

I suppose Trump could become an authoritarian, but Biden is. Well, whoever is.

think about all those mammoth tusks being pulled out of the Arctic muck. Think of all the grass it took to feed all those mammoths, up there where that muck is. It used to be grassland, in a world that was warmer than now.

Then ask yourself if you want authoritarians who will lie to like they now do about Climate running global socialism.

If you can't track that to a "Hell No, I won't Go" for the global war, you really just can't stand the sunlight.
 
Washington is the place to go when your moral fiber dies (or is on life support).

Amazing amounts of shadiness for decades on end regardless of the letter by your name.

That Trump himself doesn't understand that phones bought to be used and discarded are called "burner" phones? I find that easy to believe. That's he was so out-of-touch that he didn't realize his aides were handing him an unauthorized phone? Still somewhat believable.

I don’t. The article itself has John Bolton telling that trump knew what burner phones were. Trump just hopes that we all think he’s too stupid to crime. I mean, it worked right? It worked with Mueller and with the first impeachment. “He’s just too stupid to be held accountable for anything”, was essentially the argument.

And then there’s this:

I guess Ginni Thomas could really get Trump worked up….

“Years before she became one of then-President Donald Trump’s most prominent coup supporters, Ginni Thomas was already notorious in his West Wing for, among other things, ruining staffers’ afternoons by working Trump into fits of vengeful rage.

“We all knew that within minutes after Ginni left her meeting with the president, he would start yelling about firing people for being disloyal,” said a former senior Trump administration official. “When Ginni Thomas showed up, you knew your day was wrecked.”

Judge issues the first outright acquittal of a defendant charged over the Jan. 6 riot

A federal judge on Wednesday acquitted a New Mexico man of misdemeanor charges that he illegally entered the U.S. Capitol and engaged in disorderly conduct during last year's riot.
www.npr.org www.npr.org

From the article:

Martin, whose bench trial started Tuesday, testified that a police officer waved him into the building after the riot erupted. A prosecutor dismissed that testimony as "nonsense."

The judge, however, said video shows two police officers standing near the Rotunda doors and allowing people to enter as Martin approached. One of the officers appeared to lean back before Martin placed a hand on the officer's shoulder as a possible sign of gratitude, the judge said.
