Funny, the article in the Atlantic was citing a surge in violent rhetoric as an indicator that more people are ready to get violent for real....

Trump's rhetoric has always been violent, from his call for the death of the accused 'Central Park' muggers. He has endorsed beatings at rallies, torture, and bloody public displays of capital punishment. If he has the ability in the future to make it happen, I'm sure he will. Meantime his rhetoric serves to increase and normalize violent feelings everywhere.

They are telegraphing, even "Projection" of their own thoughts and feelings.
We should listen!

Tucker Carlson on October 30, 2020: “Reporters hate Trump with an all-consuming mania. They hate him so intensely that at times it's been amusing to watch.”
Two months later (Jan. 4, 2021):

I hope that Fat Nixon tortures the bow tied dimwit even from the grave.

As counterintuitive as it might be, perhaps the best thing for American democracy would be for Carlson to keep bumbling his way through more January 6 footage and to keep images of the insurrection in front of millions of viewers for as long as possible. If that’s how McCarthy and Carlson intend to restore the image of the GOP as a normal political party, who are any of us to argue with such public-relations geniuses?

It's kinda sad that our resident "fake news" expert, Whell, continues to buy into Tucker's nonsense hook, line and sinker, even to the point of "just asking questions" about some of Tucker's cherry-picked videos.

Another revealing quote from Tucker Carlson in there, likewise picked-up by Heather Cox Richardson this morning:
Quote:
“We’re all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest,” he wrote in another text message, referring to the "last four years." “But come on. There isn’t really an upside to Trump.”
