Hopefully five years from now they’ll be somewhere far away where he can’t find them.

3. This was impossible in that world a few years ago. Still, though Trump didn't MAKE him do that

Doesn't sound like he's very proud of his actions as a "patriot".

of seeing family members sink into Pox News or fall down the QAnon rabbit hole This guy threatened his kids, so they are incredibly brave, his son for turning him in and his daughters for identifying just who else deserves the blame.

Kudos to the judge for not buying his sudden contrition, we all know he's really, really sorry he got caught and even sorrier he's going to do a stretch in prison. I understand the shorter sentence, she wanted to make it absolutely nuts to appeal.

The kids didn't tear this family apart, their fucking gullible idiot of a father did. I note that mandatory mental health treatment is part of this goon's prison sentence, maybe they'll manage to deprogram him, but I strongly suspect he had some personality problems that made him such a sucker for hate.
