The most important point in the last hearing that stumps magas:

Magas still argue that trump didn’t tell the mob to attack the Capitol. They reference one line in his incitement speech: “He said we’re going to peacefully march down to the Capitol”. They hang by a thread to that one line. But the one thing even they can’t concoct any explanation or defense for is the 187 minutes when, even after every single one of his advisors told him to call off the mob, he refused.

There is only one answer and they fucking know it.

Stop the steal. It’s practically a confession to obstruction of an official congressional proceeding

This is typical redneck behavior on a very large scale. Football mentality: take what you want by force.

Punish those who do not agree with you.

Trust me, I've lived it in red hellhole TN. (Not saying all southerners are this way by any means. Toxic masculinity abounds here & the women so supportive of them are just as bad!)

To them, this sort of behavior gives tfg & insurrectionists street cred.

Remember: these are people who still idolize confederate figures. Traitors.

The Magic Words, then you can't get in trouble. It is stupid, childish thinking which ignores how culpability actually works.
