Jay Rosen on Twitter: "Quite a scene today: Michigan Republicans posing as electors from their state demanding to be let into the state capital to cast their "votes," which don't exist because Trump lost Michigan. State police stopped them. A counter-majoritarian party has to be counter-factual, too."

I teach journalism at NYU, critique the press, try to suggest reforms. PressThink is the name of my subject and my site. Started blogging in 2003. Still at it.

  This is the odd part. The very silly performance aspect. It's so weird. It seems not harmless but laughable and less frightening. Like the Proud Boys mooning.

  Michigan State Police should have arrested them for sedition. Crimes unpunished WILL BE REPEATED.

  I've gotten knocks on my front door during this pandemic. All of them have also been counter factual, and I basically acted the same way as the security personnel in MI.

  Why won’t you accept that my vote counts more than yours?

  What is wrong with these people? Seriously. Can they fear Trump that much? Because there's no way they can respect him.

  May it be the first of many such reassertions of reality.
