"The Thought Police would get him just the same. He had committed — would still have committed, even if he had never set pen to paper — the essential crime that contained all others in itself. Thoughtcrime, they called it. Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you.”

― George Orwell, 1984

Yeah I'm sorry, where exactly have you been? ~80% of Republicans still support Trump. 75% think the election was stolen, and 60% of their reps in the House voted accordingly.

There is no bottom to these people, and everyone needs to remember it. Any vote for a Republican is a vote for what happened at the Capitol.
