I just wish that it were possible to at least ask for empathy. I'd like to be able to say, "Imagine Biden or Harris had done this. What would your reaction be?"

It's not really possible to get a meaningful answer to that question. Even if I accepted that an answer was honest I'm not sure I could accept it as accurate. Counterfactuals always have an element of "all things being equal" but things are never equal.

Still... You can see why I think they'd be calling for treason trials. And so I'm not sure what they expect me to be doing at this moment.
