Way too many people on our side think they're being "vigilant" by assigning magical powers to the bad guys, and insisting the bad guys are going to win no matter what.

That's NOT vigilance. It's self defeating idiocy. It just emboldens the bad guys come at us harder.
When you behave like this, you are working full-time for Donald Trump, whether you realize it or not.

The biggest gift you can give Trump world is to keep telling them that next time they'll win for sure.

You want to defeat them? Call out their weakness and break their spirit.
We have an entire industry of liberal doomsday pundits who have built their careers by brainwashing our side into believing "vigilance" means spending all day staring paralyzed in fear at their scary predictions and/or angrily foaming at the mouth about how were going to lose.
Listening to the doomsday pundits tell you how you're going to lose, is literally HOW YOU LOSE.

Stop assigning magical powers to the other side.

Stop insisting your side is going to lose.

Learn how to start fighting alongside Democratic leaders, instead of whining about them.
There's so much bad stuff to legitimately be angry about. There's so much legitimate motivation for wanting to fight.

You don't have to pretend our side's leaders are inept idiots. You don't have to pretend we're losing. That doesn't even motivate you. It just makes you give up.

Even Dan Quayle, who has the IQ of a bowl of cherries, has acknowledged that there was literally no way for Mike Pence to somehow magically overturn the election results. So why is the media still pretending that Trump’s dumbass treason plot had any chance of ever working?
Why do I keep harping in this? Because it’s important.

First, the truth matters.

But also: the average American will look at the facts and accept that Trump and his people really were carrying out a treason plot. But they will NOT accept any claims that it “almost worked.”
Average Americans are going to see the laughably moronic nature of this treason plot, the inept way in which it was carried out by complete idiots, and the fact that no one can explain how it could possibly have resulted in Trump magically getting a second term.

The Trump regime’s plot to overthrow the election consisted of pressuring Mike Pence to wave a magic wand that didn’t exist. You don’t have to give Pence any credit for refusing to go along with it, because there was nothing for Pence to go along with.
The most Pence could have done was verbally object to the certification, which the Senate would have certified anyway. And if Trump didn’t like it, the courts would have immediately laughed in his face. There was literally nothing Pence could have done to keep Trump in office.
And Pence knew all of this, which is why he didn’t bother futilely making a fool of himself. He knew it was a desperate and defeated Trump asking him to wave a magic wand that simply did not exist outside of Trump’s hallucinatory mind.

Thank you Ari Melber for acknowledging on MSNBC just now that Mitch McConnell is not some omnipotent figure who always wins, and that in reality he often blinks or loses battles. Palmer Report has been hammering home this fact all year.
McConnell often wins, and he often loses. He’s very savvy but he doesn’t have a magic wand. Yet for years the media (on the left and right) has falsely portrayed McConnell as always getting his way on everything, by simply not covering the numerous times he’s lost or caved.
Why would the media misrepresent this? The usual answer: ratings.

Right wingers like to be told they’re winning, so right wing media always insists McConnell is winning.

Liberals respond to being told they’re losing, so liberal media also always insists McConnell is winning.

Wealthy and powerful people like Trump generally get away with crimes by finding a way to not get indicted to begin with, and they have various ways to pull that off. But once they do get indicted, they tend to go down. Even fancy lawyers usually won't get you off at trial.
Trump is under criminal investigation in three jurisdictions, two of which have reached the grand jury stage.

If Trump gets indicted for financial crimes (Manhattan or Westchester), or gets indicted for election tampering (Georgia), there is every reason to expect he'll go down.
The wealthy and powerful person's main tool for not getting indicted is to keep crimes a secret. Paying others do to the crimes, paying to cover it up, so prosecutors don't even know to look for anything.

For Trump, that ship has already sailed. Prosecutors are clearly onto him.

The doomsday types are already insisting Jason Miller won't go through with cooperating. That misses the point. The committee has set precedent that you have to turn over valuable evidence just to buy yourself time. And if Miller backs out, he goes to prison for contempt anyway.
So if the committee is sticking to its own precedent, Miller must have already turned over valuable evidence just to get his contempt deadline pushed back slightly. That would be a win for the committee whether Miller ends up fully cooperating or not.
Just as the committee's dealings with Mark Meadows were win for the committee, because Meadows turned over the texts and powerpoint stuff before backing out. And now Meadows will go to prison for contempt anyway. As will Miller if he backs out.

The PowerPoint presentation proves two things:

1) The election overthrow plot was hilariously inept and had zero chance of even coming close to working.

2) It was nonetheless a treason plot involving the uppermost levels of the Trump regime.

These two things can both be true.
Just because someone commits a crime like treason or election fraud in an ineptly stupid way that has zero chance of achieving any of the stated goals, it doesn’t mitigate the crime that was committed. It’s still treason and election fraud.
That said, the whole plot was just so obviously never going to keep Trump in office. Even if they had succeeded in killing Pence, for instance, it still wouldn’t have magically resulted in Trump getting a second term. But a treason plot that’s guaranteed to fail is still treason.
