From the thread Jan 7 2021 and beyond - the aftermath of storming the Capitol, to keep from hijacking that thread.
I don’t really believe the first sentence and am only in partial agreement with the second.
From what I can determine by lurking Right Wing Message Boards, they really aren’t confused why Hillary (or Al Gore, or Stacey Abrams) haven’t been arrested. It’s just a talking point to allow them to argue that Trump’s prosecution is unjustified.
Before the indictment, these RWNJs were all asking “What laws did he violate?” in response to news reports of the ongoing investigation. Afterwards, they bring out the Hillary (Al, Stacey) talking point to make it an issue that while Trump’s crime is simply questioning the election, these people all questioned their elections without persecution. They try to say that his prosecution is a violation of the 1st Amendment. Of course, if they would revisit “What laws did he violate?”, they would have to see what laws Trump is being accused of and that none of that applies to Hillary (Al, Stacey) and that Trump’s 1st Amendment rights are not being violated.
It is frustrating. The vast majority of them have either not read Smith’s Election Interference indictment, or have just skimmed it muttering “this is all bullshit” before closing the file. They have their “sources” who tell them they have read it (who probably haven’t, either) and that it’s all a politically driven witch hunt with no facts behind it (other than fake facts). Having heard what they want to hear, they look no further. Their minds are closed. It is extremely difficult to deal with people with closed minds.
