Comeuppance is an antiquated notion these days, it seems.
And along similar lines of thinking, I was pondering this morning about 1/6. I know that congressmen know, that the "storming" was phony. Do you know how I know? Because they haven't humbled themselves in the slightest. They were supposedly about to be captured and led to the gallows or something, right? You'd think that would be a life changing experience. "Maybe I ought to represent my constituents better, or pay closer attention to the constitution. Maybe I need to just stop being a politician because I'm in fear for my life now."
But no, instead it's, "Now I'm going to ratchet up what I was doing . I'm going to twist a knife a little more, act a little more cocky, cheat just a little (lot) more in the next election."

Good point, if they didn't contribute to the problem they certainly used it.
