    This @ariehkovler interview rings true. It was a mixed crowd, with all the Trumpian tactical competence you’d expect, but some were ready for more. They honestly believe a malicious cabal stole the election. Millions of people now do. Trump, Cruz, Hawley et al. convinced them.https://twitter.com/NAChristakis/status/1347891900813094913 …

    Follow-up: “I think that ultimately the police successfully kept elected officials out of the hands of these people.” I thought the zip ties and gallows were just paraphernalia, but apparently the execution of representatives was not an idle threat. https://www.gq.com/story/man-predicted-capitol-coup-interview …

        Nobody has to convince them. The corruption in both parties is very clearly on display.

        So important to understand the real and specific threat of targeted violence that existed, and was known and predictable, even though it was in some ways obscured by the mostly opportunistic chaos of the crowd. Some who encouraged the march on the Capitol knew the threat existed.

        You only need to listen to Fox News occasionally to know this. Also, everything Trump has done lately is designed to focus anger at Congress. Stimulus checks - guaranteed refusal. Georgia election - it's all fraud. Georgia is ours, etc. Emotional competence.

        My parents joined an FLDS cult when I was a teenager; the worst feature of this milieu was the oppressive suppression of critical thinking; the leader was a prophet to be loved and not questioned. Persecution complex was also a feature. I recognize Trumpism as a cult.

        What's really been on my mind today is, why did those elements who were "ready for more" not do even more damage?
