    For @insight, I wrote about the key dynamic that should not be overlooked. As the vote *right after* the mayhem showed, the insurrectionists have "allies who shared their objective at every level of government from the executive to the legislative". https://zeynep.substack.com/p/so-what-about-that-self-coup …pic.twitter.com/8UC52POcMP

        zeynep tufekci Retweeted Jay Rosen

        Yep. This is exactly why it's not a "Trump is almost gone" problem; and why the much of the GOP establishment appears to be focusing on threatening Trump to stay quiet till January 20th so they can go on pretending it was only Trump, and let's move on.https://twitter.com/jayrosen_nyu/status/1348309216650473472 …

        Jay RosenVerified account @jayrosen_nyu
        Last two days — and just now from @PatToomey on Meet the Press — I noticed establishment Republicans and establishment journalists try to claim that Trump is a spent force in the GOP, that the party is rejecting him. Lunacy. Anyone who thinks that is disqualifed as an observer.

        Will keep reminding folks that these people fought their way into the Capitol like this demanding the election be overturned, and hours later, 65% of the GOP representatives in the House—who returned under heavy armed guard—voted to overturn the election.https://twitter.com/JanNWolfe/status/1348327073773985802 …

        People were deluded about the threat before—"it's just Trump being Trump"—and now they're deluded about it being over because they don't see the connection between all this and the increasing entrenchment of minority rule. From my piece on December 7th. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/12/trumps-farcical-inept-and-deadly-serious-coup-attempt/617309/ …pic.twitter.com/3ugasqHUUy

        zeynep tufekci Retweeted Eric Gonzalez Juenke

        I'll keep repeating. Sixty-five percent of the GOP caucus in the House voted not to certify the results of the election right after the mayhem. Eight GOP senators, too. And that's the embarrassed count—more were going to vote to overturn but lost heart.https://twitter.com/egojunk1/status/1347673042676289539 …

        Given Ginni Thomas’s role probably on Supreme Court as well.

        If Republicans had House and Senate majority, the contested states would be re-running their elections. Something to think about for midterms.

        Articulate and on point as usual. In terms of your prediction that this autocratic tendency in the republican base will get worse and can be exploited better in the future: How do we know that this is not the crescendo of an older voter base reacting to change?
