(16,847 posts)that if their insurrection was successful, they would be treated as heroes. Well, they lost the bet and now theyre in prison. They need to quit whining. Do we admire people who lose all their money at the blackjack tables? Theyre losers, and losers have to pay. Thats how the world works, at least for those of us who arent part of the oligarchy. People like Jordan and Cruz have yet to pay. Hope we see them in prison eventually, although thats not very likely.

(205,698 posts)It should have told them something that they were asked to overthrow the government. Yet they're in prison and he still walks free. This is why it's essential that TFG also faces consequences. He is responsible for it all - for those who died and were severely injured on January 6th - mostly police officers who they insist they "support" - and he's the reason that they're in prison now.

(16,847 posts)Although it should be an example of how our justice system works. If an oligarch urges people to overthrow the government, the people will pay, not the oligarch. Well see what happens, although even if Trump doesnt face a penalty, it should be a good illustration of what will happen if egged on by a powerful person. Youd better be successful, because youre the one who will pay.

I can't quite see why this is so, what is in it for them?
(No point asking a MAGAT, their intelligence and linguistic skills seem to be quite low.)
But it looks like another attempt at overthrowing the government would be on the cards if they ever get a chance.
If they could, they would demolish the legal system, release those prisoners, hail them as heroes, put them in positions of power, and reinstate Trump as Dictator for life.
Sounds like those 'political' prisoners have a very cushy life inside.
Probably a lot of staff sympathise with their cause.
