So many Jan. 6 foot soldiers are going to prison, for a long time. Yet so many are still loyal to the rich oligarchs who manipulated them for fun and profit. https://mastodon.social/@wendysiegelman/111750922751393636

@JamesGleick Not loyal to the oligarchs but sticking with their belief. They all feel the U.S. government is corrupt and illegitimate, and needs to be overthrown. They don't feel any remorse or guilt because they believe their charges and sentences came from an illegitimate system and court. They don't recognize any of it as valid. So they will come out of prison not chastised or wiser, but more determined.
This will be a problem for the future.
