I don't understand how supporting or defending Trump isn't politically toxic, or how Democrats could have made it happen.
The supporters don't seem to respond to reality.

They couldn't put Trump on prison unilaterally, either.
Trump was charged. The Supreme Court saved him, multiple times.
I think maybe the specific point of not bringing evidence in his second Senate impeachment trial could be the failing we're looking for?
But I don't know how that impacts trial

What would the Democrats have done, that they already did not do, had they realized that politics making law irrelevant was the battlefield?

If it was just the one guy, it wouldn't be so galling.
But it's millions of people willing to disregard it, or cheer it on. Family members. People I never would have expected to be so terrible.
It's so obviously wrong. It can't be an accident. They're making this choice on purpose.

My initial guess was that valuing and prioritizing friendship might be a reaction to having lost a community, or being shunned.
More experienced people are emphasizing that this is an intrinsic part of mormon culture. Makes sense that it would be something ex mormons see no reason to reject.

In my experience, people are bad at nuance when categorizing things. If they refer to a category, they will tend to think of the category as homogeneous, even if it should be obvious to them that there is internal variation.

...molecules nearby, doing that heat stealing.
Total capacity of very large bodies doesn't really matter, only the capacity within where the heat travels during the experience.

I included heat capacity to include both specific heat and mass in one term.
Because water has such a higher specific heat, the molecules closest to your skin steal steal more of your heat on their way up to temperature parity.
Because water is so much denser, there are more and heavier...

My answer is that we don't feel temperature, we feel heat transfer.
Heat transfer depends on temperature, specific heat, mass, thermal conductivity, convection, and radiation.
Multiply the specific heat, mass, and thermal conductivity differentials between water and air, and violá!

Basically, we don't feel the temperature of other objects at all. We feel how much objects change the temperature of our skin when we touch them, which comes down to how much heat gets transferred.

It's not the room that a fan cools down.
It's people.
As long as your skin is warmer than the air of the room, increased airflow cools you through convection.
If it's hot enough for you to sweat, it also increases evaporative cooling.

Does a strobe backlit screen help with this?
It works by flashing each frame brightly and leaving the screen dark in between, rather than showing the static frame for the full period.
It's supposed to better match how we process motion: each time you see a moving object, it's in a new place.

My high school reunion is happening during a friend's wedding, which means I can't go but I will be on the correct side of the Atlantic.
It was a close thing- a day before or after, and I would have had to decide not to go without a convenient excuse.

Ultimately, elections are a collective action problem.
Politicians are tasked with finding a strategy that wins with the circumstances and electorate present at the time.
Voters are tasked with trying to get the best government they can.
Frustration is natural, but maybe not helpful.
