    Out of everything I could have expected, I did not expect for Rittenhouse to at least temporarily ignore all the far right grooming and try to reverse course into "Actually I am woke, I just ended up in a bad situation".

    Genuinely intrigued at how this shit is going to develop.

      Dude, it's the ultimate flex, anyone with a neuron knows he's a piece of shit and that's why they love him playing the ultimate hero-victim. Give him two more years and he's gonna run for House Rep and win.

        And he apparently doesn't want that job to be some form of right wing grifter/politician.

      Civil suits can still bankrupt him. Best behavior time until those terms expire.

      The optimist in me wants to believe he's genuinely conflicted with people he recognizes as objectively evil cheering him on as a champion of their cause and this is the resulting cognitive dissonance, and that maybe he'll end up sabotaging efforts to turn him into a reactionary symbol. But his ability to walk free and not be sued in civil court were and will continue to be tied up in the narrative of him acting in purely justifiable self-defense, which requires presenting his victims as dangerous anteefer supersoldiers, so I find it unlikely that he's ever going to go so far as to admit remorse.
