For some reason, I recall a certain liberal outrage during the actual events of January 6th that went something like this: "The Capitol Police are in on it, they would be shooting Black people right now, All Cops Are Bastards." Remember that? I do.
Anyway, from over a month ago we have had over 110 convictions, including ring leaders like Tarrio and Rhodes, we've had over 630 guilty pleas and there are a few hundred more cases pending. They are still looking for people and making arrests, too.
Was this "satisfying" to some people? I think they are happy when clear seditious scumbags like Tarrio and Rhodes are sentenced, but this is the reality of an actual functioning justice system. It's slow. Results take time.
Anyway, the same is true of the impact of legislation. Look at ACA. Unpopular, because no one knew what was in it, until they started getting insurance as well as the other myriad benefits. Now, it's quite popular to the point where three GOP Senators couldn't bring themselves to ashcan it.
As I posted last night, Democrats and anyone to the left of Mitt Romney need to sack up and get with the program. Joe Biden is going to run against Donald Trump. That's your choice. A fundamentally decent human being who has accomplished a remarkable amount as president versus an avowed wannabe dictator.
Stop wishing for the immediate gratification and do the work of making things pay off over the long run.
