Sadly.

A lot of folks rather have a feel-good narrative that claims redemption in some form or another - even where none exist.

To my thinking that kind of thinking allows the guilty to go free while gaining a measure of just how much they can get away with, and next time they'll try for more.

Democracy hasn't prevailed until the threats to democracy have been quashed. That doesn't happen if they get away with their actions.
