The killer sentence for me was that they were "victims and perpetrators of misinformation". Frustrating indeed.
The US "Jan 6 committee" took testimony from the deep Ohio accent of Stephen Ayres, who talked about being tricked by Trump to come to the Capitol and enter it, for which he was convicted. What the committee, not wanting their helpful witnesses to be disparaged, didn't mention, is that the guy was propagating misinformation himself, the same day and the next day:
...doing videos about how it was only Antifa that invaded the Capitol, though he'd been there himself. That's pretty brazen lying. So, how do you tell such lies, while thinking, "But everything I've been told about how I had to come here, including how I have to help out with blaming Antifa, that's all true".
It's right out of 1984 and double-think, holding two opposite truths in your head at once.
Incidentally, the question that can only be answered about the EA, until people write their memoirs in 20 years, is whether they gave a crap about everything Canadians were going through, or only dropped it because two American politicians said that we were not a reliable trading partner, were causing them to close factories, maybe we should not build cars together any more.
Only what was discussed in private on the last two days before it dropped, would tell that tale.
Ayres is a pretty good candidate for the rare intersection of bug-eyed *and* shameless. The effort to both take credit for Jan6 and say someone else was responsible is some pretty impressive derangement.
