To understand the Qonservative RepubliQan mentality in their complete disregard for FACTS and EVIDENCE is the same mentality as their ideological ancestors: the white supremacists of the 1940’s and 1950’s. They would commit lynchings and other extremely brutal murders with impunity, because they knew they would go to court, and no matter how much FACTS and EVIDENCE were presented — wink, wink — it would all be ignored and the all-white juries would declare them NOT GUILTY. And they would be set free to ride off on their next Q Qlux Qlan night-ride of terrorism.
While they have changed parties (the Q Qlux Qlan was founded by Democrats who later became Republicans when the Democratic Party matured and repudiated them — the Democrats’ ugly racist past tense is the Republicans’ ugly racist present tense), it is the same disregard of FACTS and EVIDENCE — wink, wink — when they vote to acquit a person who was as much a traitor as the Qonfederates whose flag they all revere.
Lindsey Graham, who was one of the House Impeachment Managers in 1998 against Bill Clinton, at which time he believed that fibbing about oral sex with a consenting adult (which did not qualify as perjury since the question about consensual sex was not relevant to a case about non-consensual harassment) was grounds for impeachment, said that showing the video evidence was “offensive.” Well, duh. Of course it was offensive. What Trump did was offensive. And of course, FACTS and EVIDENCE are always OFFENSIVE to those who are GUILTY.
