The WEIRD might (I say might) care about values such as democracy, equality, human rights and the rule of law as they pertain to themselves and their tribe. Are the WEIRD in trouble for ignoring existing laws that equally pertain to them and crossing American boundaries that rational/sane people would never cross and placing themselves at risk being stripped of all protections right now? As I mentioned before, I'm not a member of the GOP tribe. I'm a member of the American tribe that's well over 5 times their size that tends to support them these days.

C-Xer, you seem to be determined to be obtuse.  You write about real America and the like, but never show how you arrive at your numbers. At the moment, roughly 40% of the US still believes in the irrational world created by RW media and coopted by DJT.  Note: believing something doesn't make it so.  Existing outside the truth-paradigm, preferring one created for you, doesn't produce anything but strife.  Taking one obvious point: Trump lost the election, and no mental trick can change that.  And the insurrection at the Capitol was just that.  It wasn't a righteous uprising of patriots.  Wishing other wise won't change facts.

The group that stormed the capitol was a mixed group of individuals who got involved for various reasons. Law enforcement is in the process of apprehending them and figuring all of that out right now. I accepted Biden was going to be the next President a long time ago. I'll never give him credit for winning fair and square. I don't believe he truly earned it or really deserves to be the President either. I think his election is going to turn out to be a major mistake/blunder since it occurred at the wrong time in history. A pivotal time is not the time to elect an old man with dementia or a token VP or a bunch of arrogant morons who have been protected by a system with double standards for years. As I've said, I'm not much of a wishful thinker or one who clings to false hopes or laurels associated with bygone eras.  I don't believe what occurred with election laws in some key battle ground states was legal. If 40% equates to 70 some million Americans who ain't going to budge or concede then your in trouble when the the shit hits the fan and it starts to really heat up. AS I mentioned, social justice is a double edged sword that cuts both ways. I've also mentioned that the left is playing with fire and walking on thin ice and waking a sleeping giant.
