As dozens of onlookers looked on, some with tears in their eyes, a barefoot man in an orange jumpsuit and red MAGA cap sobbed in a cage in a convention center in Dallas, Texas.
Attendees at CPAC, the massive annual conservative activist conference, were given bluetooth headphones, emblazoned with the word silence, where they were invited to listen to audio accounts from January 6 defendants who have been jailed due to the Capitol riot.
Some spectators wept. Some threw money into the cage. Others came up close to mutter words of comfort and support to the emotionally distraught man inside, who was alternating sitting on a bare cot with his head in his hands, and writing sad slogans on a blackboard like Where is Everyone? Among those in the audience was Zuny Duarte, mother of Enrique Tarrio, the jailed ex-chairman of the Proud Boys facing seditious conspiracy charges for his role in the Capitol. One man, wearing a T-shirt saying Correctional Officers for Trump 2020 pointed at his chest, making sure the jailed activist saw, and said I know how it works, man.

(115,658 posts)But maybe most of them were really BLM/Antifa in disguise and they coerced good, decent MAGAts into storming the Capitol with them? Or something like that? "'When I use a word,' Humpty Trumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to meanneither more nor less.'"
