Ultimately, it is not enough for political figures to ritually denounce the use of violence while amplifying the lies that lead to violence. The only way to defuse this bomb is to embrace the truth.

 

Eh... or just make sure mostly Republicans are around when it goes off lol. That's how the Capitol riot panned out with hundreds of supporters facing prison terms, and that was when authorities were unprepared. I think the violence fear-mongering is a bit overblown considering these mob yokels will never have intelligence or law enforcement agencies on their side - Trump was still technically President and couldn't prevent his followers getting arrested en masse or shot dead.

Its sad that 2/3rds of Republicans believe the Big Lie, but some perspective... that number has always been the base made up of oingo boingo  neckbeards. They were never going to vote Democrat... they're kinda like drones. Sure drones that might occasionally act like a wannabe Stormtrooper, but just like a Stormtrooper you spend most of your time facepalming as they somehow screw themselves over.

The fact that 1/3rd or 20 million + Republicans don't believe Trump's BS is actually pretty encouraging IMO.
