Just a couple things that some of the 1500+ January 6 defendants have been convicted of since Trump released them back onto our streets.
The GOP isn't the party of law and order.
They're the party of lawlessness and violence.

A massive longitudinal metastudy of more than 300,000 people over decades found that having a few meaningful relationships is associated with a 50% higher chance of being alive years later compared to people who are socially isolated. This is an effect thats even greater than not smoking or drinking

The science fiction dystopia of the “silver tsunami”: more than 11,000 Americans are turning age 65 every single day in the United States at this point. Put another way, around 5 million Americans are going to turn 65 this year and every year through 2027.

The presidency is a side gig for Trump‘s grift.
"New disclosures posted Saturday...show that Trump’s purchases of at least $82 million include bonds from Netflix Inc., UnitedHealth Group Inc., Boeing Co., Meta Platforms Inc., Home Depot Inc., Broadcom Inc. and Intel Corp., of which the US government acquired a stake under his administration."

Good morning! The last stars in the universe will die out in a mere 120 trillion years from now, which will then be followed by ten quattuortrigintillion years of just black holes (that’s a number that’s so large it’s a 10 with 106 zeroes after it).

When a president sends troops into American cities to “restore order,” what he’s really doing is testing obedience. Portland and Chicago aren’t war zones…they’re warning shots. Authoritarians don’t announce takeovers. They practice them. One city at a time. However, each practice destroys families.
