    It’s not as much about each specific thing as much as is about the overarching story. That Trump was at a UFC event and stayed while calling the national guard, that he didn’t call them in on Jan 6th, that the LAPD called the protests mostly peaceful, etc.

    People need motivation to act on their convictions. Visible push back from others is hugely important to seeing it as more unjustified and that they can refuse unlawful orders

    It’s also a spectrum. Vaguely feeling that something is probably wrong vs seeing stories about how it’s wrong are different
