It seems both "funny" and sad that the right won't learn anything come 2022, 2024

Insurrectionists are "political prisoners"
The FBI, CIA, and probably Interpol conspired against them
They ended up on the wrong end of the law and needed a pardon
The courts conspired against them when they didn't agree with Trump that the election was stolen
Yadda, yadda, yadda.

I have a feeling that they are going to go right back to "law and order" and "tough on crime" in the near future like nothing happened... and there's going to be 30% of the nation who is going to cheer right along with it.

There's too many who are too heavily invested -- emotionally, financially, and/or policywise -- in "not learning" for learning to have any traction.

More like 40% with assistance from the MSM (“the liberal media”)

Also, one thing about republicans is when they lose they get more extreme and go further to the right…just think what happened after Clinton’s win and then Obama’s. And their extremism ends up paying off for them based on the first point .

Refusing to consider, to accept facts that contradict their baseless beliefs.
