The January 6 Committee has put together a pretty damning report on the events leading up to the insurrection on that date. tRump was at the heart of it, taking advice from anyone with an idea of how to overturn a free and fair election. Yet, among a sizable percentage of the population, the man can do no wrong. The surest way to get Facebook flamed by tRumpists is to doubt the Big Lie of a stolen election.
Why do so many people who are otherwise thoughtful citizens get so worked up if anyone casts doubt on Cheeto Jesus' motives? I have said this before, but it bears repeating. The Donald seems to articulate the victimization felt by so many of his followers. To question the motives of a racist, misogynistic, patriarchal idiot is to throw into doubt the entire belief system of his followers. He has given them permission to let their freak flag fly and they will back him in the face of the many crimes he will soon be called to account.
