The deep state wants social chaos and violence, it wants civil war as an excuse to bring the hammer down on conservatives & gun owners, and effectively end the 1st and 2nd amendments.
They've been trying to provoke a violent response from the right for some time – note how the Jan. 6 Capitol "invasion" was orchestrated; the media and politicians had prepared statements that were righteous and angry and they practically compared the event to Pearl Harbor ... their shock and horror seemed wildly overstated compared to what actually happened. They were planning for there to be real bloodshed that day but it never materialized.
The impeachment trial is a continuation of that: they want us to get upset at seeing Trump further attacked and martyred. They want Trump voters to feel angry and threatened. They're trying to provoke us into doing something reckless ... so they can justify the resulting crackdown.
Where the azimuthal equidistant projection falls apart is in the severe distortion of the southern hemisphere. I don't know how flat-earthers would explain travel times in the southern hemisphere, maybe they do have some sort of explanation. I'd be interested in hearing it.
I've flown from London to Cape Town, and I've also flown from Auckland NZ to Santiago Chile. Both flights were non-stop, and both took around 12 hrs (give or take about 20-30min). Makes sense, as you look at a globe you'll see the distances involved are roughly the same for both – about 6k miles.
Now, looking at the azimuthal equidistant projection, draw a straight line/flight path from London to Cape Town, and then draw a straight line from Auckland to Santiago ... if the earth were flat, the NZ to Chile flight should be almost two-and-a-half times as long as the London/Cape Town flight.
