Giberson’s mother said that for her son, the 2020 election was like watching his favorite baseball team on a World Series run.

Both of them are fucking morons.

Giberson, a political science major who specialized in "American ideas and institutions,” told FBI special agents he wanted to be at the Capitol to "support the parties that were making decisions regarding the certification of the electoral college, and that he was there to encourage what he believed to be the 'correct' certification."

Further evidence to bolster the point

Literally the problem with American politics. If you make a political party your identity, any attack on the politicians becomes a personal attack.
