1. Yeah, well ....

and I'm supposed to have some kind of response -- or feelings toward this?
Stupid is still -- basically stupid.

[brush]

2. It was white privilege, percieved entitlment writ large. Also stupid.

[bullimiami]

3. Might take that as a clue that they were being fed a bowl of shit.

4. Shocked, huh? Were they expecting medals or something?

[Mister Ed]

5. I think they were indeed expecting medals.

No exaggeration. I think they expected that statues would be erected in their honor for restoring their God Emperor to the throne

[Mr.Bill]

7. Well, then,

that explains the face paint and costumes.

6. The storming of the Capitol was the grand finale of the reality show bubble they were living in.

Up until the consequences arrived it was a grand ol time doing the (ex)President's bidding and showing off for the folks back home and their comrades in flabby arms.

8. They were even more shocked that the rest of the country didn't join them

and they were super shocked that Dumdum didn't issue a blanket pardon for everybody who joined in.

Mostly, I think the whole GOP leadership under Dumdum was astonished to find out they're a minority.

9. Enabled, encouraged, emboldend and thought they would be rewarded and regarded as heros.

Only 20%? agree. But that is the anchor on our neck, as it keeps us from progressing. Meaningful sentences may help.

10. Imagine how shocked the MAGAts at the window that the woman tried to climb through must have been.

They actually shot her, and she pretty much had it coming, from the video I saw. How did the cops trying to hold Thermopylae know if she was armed, or had a bomb? What they knew for sure was that she ignored commands to stop and stand down, and kept coming.

That must have been a major surprise for them.

11. A lot of MAGAts were shocked when they ended up in the hospital with Covid.

Shocking things happen when you deny reality.

12. "They thought"

Stop right there.
