And maybe we go through the, maybe it's five more years down the road, they finally get released and all that. And I get the part where he says that it's not, it's not a good thing to just blanket pardon these people. What I don't understand is them saying that Um, it's his militia army and that, you know, he, he incited an, um, an armed mom to attack the Capitol. It's just not true.

Um, and I, I was, I, I had a personal way into that because in 2020, part of my research to getting to know the world of the right was that I was listening to Steve Bannon's war room podcast. Um, And I listened to it a lot. And then so after the election, I felt as a Democrat that it had been rigged and that it was such a big rigging that we'd never have a fair election in this country again.

And so I'd left the Democratic Party, but I went back. over to MAGA because I had heard that they were gonna protest the election and that Trump was not accepting the results. And I thought, wow, really? That's wild. Of course, come to find later, we found out that the cabal that got together to try to rig the election had planned on him not accepting the results.

And in fact, I think they even planned on a mob attacking the Capitol. But if you followed the Stop the Steal, you knew what that was about. And if you didn't, you would never know because of the way the media has covered it. But with these guys, these patriots, they don't see themselves as violent, right?

When they show up at a state house or whatever, when they're armed, they're not trying to threaten violence. They're saying, if you attack me, I will defend myself because they think the left is the violent side. And they are. They are. I come from the left. This is a by any means necessary party. Right.

And so the MAGA, the same way that, you know, MAGA, they're not the breaking windows attacking government property party. They're just not. And and if you know that about them, you know, even Alex Jones was out there on the in D.C. saying no violence, peaceful, peaceful only. And so. For me, I thought when I heard about the riot, I thought, what is that? You know, what are they doing?

Like, that's not the MAGA I know, you know. And and so as I watched this whole thing play out and I saw how the media portrayed them and I saw how people talked about them and described them as terrorists, I. You know, I began to feel not just defensive of them, but but worried about the truth of what actually happened. You know, we know about the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping.
