Another example of how the Trumplicans depend on the IGNORANCE of the American public:

They are now trying to sell the notion that the overwhelming majority of those poor "patriots" who stormed the Capitol on January 6th were " political neophytes" who "did not realize that what they were doing was wrong".

Read those quotes again.

Despite the fact that it has been proven that MANY of the "J6 patriots" were members of or associated with extremist rightwing groups, let's assume that many were in fact "political neophytes" who had never before participated in a group action to protest something. HOW PATHETICALLY STUPID DOES ONE HAVE TO BE in order to "not know" that forcibly breaching several rings of police barricades, assaulting uniformed police officers with all sorts of weapons and chemicals, breaking out windows and forcing locked doors open and then entering and vandalizing the Capitol of the United Ststes of America was WRONG?

Is it time to start shouting down people so despicably twisted that they would say this crap in public?

What about OUR freedom of speech?
