    The new Post poll has some awful findings among Republicans: 51% say GOP leaders didn't go far enough in nullifying election 56% say Trump bears zero blame for the insurrection 66% say he has acted responsibly Behold the GOP's authoritarian core:https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/15/new-poll-trump-gop-approval-authoritarian/ …

        Just look at these poll findings among Republicans. It's very hard to be optimistic about what this portends: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/15/new-poll-trump-gop-approval-authoritarian/ …pic.twitter.com/GyDM6JyAh8

        Our poll also complicates a comforting narrative: That the turn away from democracy is driven by economic dispossession. Around 1/4 of people with college degrees and +$100K household incomes largely support these attacks on democracy: (h/t @AdamSerwer) https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/15/new-poll-trump-gop-approval-authoritarian/ …pic.twitter.com/OXypg6RTGL

        Between @DanCrenshawTX's authoritarian cosplay video and @HawleyMO's salute to rioters, watching Republicans navigate their party's authoritarian currents is pretty terrible. The new post-liberal radicalism makes it worse.

        These numbers portend the cannibalism of the existing GOP. I'm so ready for the great schism.

        MUST shine a spotlight on their media diet that underlies these findings. Until Facts, Truth & Numbers are addressed, nothing else matters and this American decline will continue.

        You just captured the essence of why we’re in this mess as clearly and simply as I’ve seen written.
