Yep. Humans are programmable and our programming has inexorably been fvcked away from the good ideas of the founders.

Yeah, but the right is like a cult of Trump, built on lies and insanity. Same both ways.

Yes. Absolutely.
Jan 6 participants were dabbling with eroding our election process, but I'll allow that most of them got caught up in some unplanned bullshit and didn't really have any organization.
This is more subtle in that no gates are being stormed, but we're honestly talking about the righteousness of exposing jurors to dangerous fanatics, circumventing a court decision, and attacking a defendant because the moral mob didn't like what happened. What are the odds this kid can go to school? Get a job? Not get shot in public? This shit is worse in terms of the damage it's doing to civil society. It's easily worse.

This is what the emotion of righteousness does to the human psyche.

You think the two mind-sets are unconnected?
It takes two to tango. Trump and AOC have more in common than their supporters would admit.

What POTUS news said:
In a longer statement issued by the White House a short time later, Biden said, "While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken."
He added that "I urge everyone to express their views peacefully, consistent with the rule of law. Violence and destruction of property have no place in our democracy."
He is ANGRY with the jury verdict? I guess he thinks they acted "stupidly."
Presumably he was pulled away from his warm milk and nap by his handlers and told what to say, because he would not have stayed awake long enough to watch the actual trial.

He should just issue a mandate to all prosecutors.
Just show the skin color to the jury.
Case closed.
