Some of these wannabe insurrectionists probably feel like they have been sucked into the matrix?
They just wanted to show off their new guns and brag about how they were "going to take back their country" and just got caught up in all the excitement and bullshit?
They just wanted to be part of the club. They listened to Hannity and Tucker and they didn't believe anything from the "fake news". Whatever they needed to know, their Leader would tell them. They never meant real harm to anyone.
But now, they find themselves looking at criminal charges and possible prison time for their actions. They were ignorant of what was really happening. They were just playing the "game".
They hid their guns in their motel rooms. They ransacked the US Capitol and threatened the lives of the elected representatives and the Vice-President. They conspired to send fake electors to the National Archive, just in case they were able to steal a few elections. They sought to overthrow our government and put a strongman in charge.
Now, some of them must feel unfairly used and betrayed. They didn't go to the eighth grade for this shit. They are not criminals. They were just looking for some meaning to their lives.

Aren't they the ones who are always bleating about that red pill/blue pill bullshit?
It's kind of funny that they're always telling people to "wake up", but fly into a fury about being "woke".
