A former chairman of the right-wing Proud Boys group was sentenced on Tuesday to 22 years in prison for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump trying to overturn the former president's election defeat.
They’re not being weird about it. They’re trying to false flag a bunch of treasonist pieces of shit as some “deeper state” theory which is what all the nazis do when they get caught.
They’re racist, and their opinions don’t matter. A group of people attempted sedition and treason on the US government. Now they are going to prison for it. They are lucky they aren’t getting the death penalty, which is one of the few times I might say it’s warranted.
We have a long way to go as a nation. I’m not sure we’ll ever get there, there being where I think the US should be, but don’t fuck with my democracy, however flawed it may be.
