      Yes, Trump, has been impeached again—but it's neither him nor that mob that stormed the Capitol that poses the greatest danger now. It's the 148 GOP legislators who voted to reject the election results—just as the president and the mob demanded.

      Even better correction: *147 not a single of whom has yet recanted or apologized. And remember, this is after a good many of them got spooked by the mayhem and the violence of the day, and changed their minds on voting to overturn the election.https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/01/more-dangerous-capitol-riot/617655/ …

      Ridiculousness of Trump's attempts to steal the election hid their seriousness. Let's not now be misled by the polite veneer and the formal nature of what happened on the floor after the mob was cleared, when legislators voted to their bidding. No excuses. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/01/more-dangerous-capitol-riot/617655/ …pic.twitter.com/YddtgkkFnx

      zeynep tufekci Retweeted Greg Miller

      Another Trump statement. Still no acknowledgment that Biden won the election. Meanwhile, only 10 Republican representatives—only 10—voted to impeach him, and not one of the 139 GOP representatives who voted to throw out legitimate votes have recanted.https://twitter.com/gregpmiller/status/1349500388026810368?s=20 …

      Trump asks supporters "to be thinking of ways to ease tensions." But he can't contemplate most obvious way he could do so himself: concede that Biden has won. https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse45/status/1349492130578919425 …

      It appears that we have one—a single one so far—GOP legislator who has meaningfully changed their behavior since January 6th. Tom Rice of South Carolina joined nine other GOP representatives and voted to impeach. (Yes only 10 did even after all this). https://twitter.com/Xanthe_Cat/status/1349535714967359488 …

      Yes it is the Daily Show compiling this—but this is exactly what they meant by “1776.” It didn’t happen in secret. If you convince millions of people the election was stolen, why wouldn’t they try to stop it? They then voted to overturn the result and still haven’t recanted.https://twitter.com/jd_durkin/status/1349732479440048135 …

          Sen. Hawley claims that he voted to overturn the election because he wouldn't "bow to a lawless mob" (he did exactly what the mob demanded!) and because these were the concerns of his constituents (because he and the president lied to them for months). LOL, Yale Law School.pic.twitter.com/oLapVDWXkV

          For MONTHS Republicans poured gasoline on democracy (even b4 the election as they railed against mail in ballots), lit a torch (~12/14 - 01/06 AM), put the flame against gasoline soaked ground and then THEY WALKED AWAY & let citizens do their bidding #HoldThemAccountablepic.twitter.com/awoFlbkB2a

          If you convince millions of people that Putin installed literally Hitler why wouldn’t they commit mass election fraud and cover it up on every level? This is a fun game

          Radicalization to extremist ideologies happens over time. The evidence to connect the dots is to analyze the conversations in fiercest pro-Trump & White Nationalists forums, then line up key phrases/ideas. 👉Trump Team was expert w/insights about supporters & LEVERAGING them.

          They are all culpable. Free speech ? No. You cannot spew lies that incite violence. It is a crime to stand up in a crowd and yell FIRE (when no fire exists) So inciting violence by getting people to believe lies is criminal as well - or should be.
