Yes, we all share culpability, because we are all part of Caesar in a democracy.

However, there was a deliberate campaign to deceive people about the facts of the case so as to generate the initial polls that showed support for "letting her pass". Of course the officials with the power knew the true facts, and as more and more people get the fuller picture, the horror of it all dawns. "Lord, forgive them, they don't know what they are doing" was Jesus' prayer as he was crucified, and it was literally true of many in the crowd. They didn't know Jesus from Adam, but they knew that the authorities they trusted told them he was a blasphemer, or an insurrectionist, or any number of things.

There are millions who didn't understand, but who now understand better and better.

Trouble is, those officials who DID understand, and did not act, are going to be caught on the bad end of a rip tide that it is now too late for them to avoid.

The visible actors, such as Jeb Bush, are irretrievably damaged. Less visible individual actors, like the Senators, could still recover by passing the Nuclear Option. But they need to move quickly.

so much has been hidden, has been allowed to remain hidden for so many years! may all the evil entanglements finally come to light, to scrutiny, to total destruction.
