    Well, that would have been good to know that before 1600 people got charged! It would have been good to know that before I had all my money frozen, put out a no fly list, banned from everything, lost all banking and payment processing!

    Maybe you should have done your own research. Isn’t that what these clowns like to tell people?

    His problem wasn’t that he lost, it sounds like his problem is that TFG admitted he lost.

    So why did we do stop the steal? Why did anyone go to January 6th? Why is anyone sitting in jail? Why did anything bad happen to anybody? Why did everyone get censored? Why is everything bad that has happened to the people that are involved? Why did that need to happen? If you’re just going to walk it all back and say, “oh, I lost.”

      The part where he complains about how “it’s such a callous indifference to the sacrifices made by (Trump’s) supporters on (Trump’s) behalf” just sent me. He thinks Trump is being callously indifferent now? Amazing that they’ll never allow themselves to realize or admit that Trump never gave a shit about them in the first place.

        Yes, I noticed that as well. And I’ve come to understand something about karma, which is really just life lessons. We keep doing a thing, and somehow it’s never wrong until someone does it to us. After that, it’s still never won’t when we do it, because “it was different/they deserved it/they’re weird,” any number of self-justifying excuses we have ourselves in perpetuating cycles of abuse, all the while not understanding why it keeps happening to us all the time! Stepping off the hamster wheel is not only understanding that if it’s wrong when others do it to us (who are justifying what they do to us with the same weird excuses), but also stopping the behavior.

        We will stumble. We will fall. But if we really understand that bullying is never acceptable, and we really understand that “hurt people hurt people,” then we take steps to address in ourselves the same behavior we find so easy to address in others. Will people still be mean to us? Probably. It gives us opportunities to stretch and grow, along with those who may not be as far along. If we resist, the cycle continues, until every person decides to step off the hamster wheel.
