The mindlessness of "the insurrectionist base."

“I no longer wanted to live,” Kaleb Franks told jurors, minutes after settling into the witness chair in federal court in Grand Rapids, Michigan with his co-conspirators. “A large portion of my family had died. I was struggling financially. Just wasn't happy” he went on to explain to the jury for his reasoning to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan in a failed insurrection attempt. He said he hoped to be killed by police in a shootout.
