...and precisely the (ineffective) formula that our village idiot uses here, but to a much better-informed audience, which doesn't buy into the hate- and fear-mongering that he dispenses.

So the MAGAmorons are already 1) Doubting that it's real 2) Claiming that it was a Dem set-up and 3) Saying he deserved it because you know, being a baby blood drinking-child trafficking-leftist-soci@list America hating commie and all. Now I'm waiting for some poor like minded wing-nut to get their brains blown out and the MAGA will blame the Dems for getting him or her all wound up.

The definition of chutzpah is encouraging your most batshit followers to attack your opponents and then interpreting their violence as proof that you need to be elected to fight crime

From the link, this caught more of my attention.

Hall, prosecutors said, previously had pleaded guilty to wire fraud for impersonating Trump’s family members on social media to raise money for a fake political organization he used to defraud donors and pocket the money for himself.

A text book Steve Bannon funding self enterprise.

What happens to a political party when it becomes unhinged from objective truth? A couple of weeks ago, I received a phone call from a woman who until recently had served in a position of regional prominence in the Texas Republican Party. The woman had read something I’d written pertaining to the insurrection at the Capitol and found it to be thoroughly inaccurate. She wished to inform me that friends of hers had been there on January 6 and had seen nothing remotely riotous taking place. But, the woman added, whatever violence had occurred that day had been the work of antifa. She then said that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s videotaped phone conversations that afternoon, in which she implored governors to deploy National Guard troops to the Capitol, had been entirely staged. The woman closed by declaring that those who remained in federal custody for January 6–related offenses were being “politically persecuted.” When I asked her where she had gotten all this information, the woman replied that she had done her own research.

Nothing riotous taking place and violence was the work of ANTIFA. Only a MAGA mind is capable of such mental gymnastics.

Didn't see the TV coverage, won't look at replays of the video coverage and doing their own research involved watching FAUX "news" and other Reich-wing propaganda outlets. If asked why if it was ANTIFA the why didn't Donny take so long to act? Such folk will say either Pelosi's fault or that he did act. Ask why if it was ANTIFA why did tRump say "we love you"? Such folk will right about then stop talking to you.

It's more than just Jan. 6, of course. It's an aversion to the truth about anything if the truth doesn't advance their quest for power. Hell, Trump is now embracing QAnon because he doesn't want to alienate those freaks who are reliably right-wing. So now, QAnon with its violent, paranoid political theology in which people believe their opponents kidnap children to drink their blood has become a sought-after demographic in the GOP base.

Only the GOP Celebrates Political Violence
Both parties suffer partisan bloodshed. One glorifies it.

Pretty much sums it up. Political violence is feature, not a bug of Trumpism.
