The groupthink in DC is thick enough, and the information bubble surrounding it is opaque enough, that the people who work in the highest levels of our government really do believe this shit. They are not kidding, and they will come down on you like a 10 story brick building if you give them an opening.
The DC courts would not be giving misdemeanor trespass offenses from the 6 Jan 2021 riot longer prison sentences than violent rapists get if they did not believe their own bullshit.
They are literally tracking all of this on the government workstations, complete with data modeling to try and predict who's secretly on the naughty list so they don't have to do the hard work of monitoring everyone individually so they can scale this shit up and largely automate the identification for further scrutiny.
Also yes, everyone in DC is that far up their own ass. I can confirm this from on the ground experience.
