On a more serious note -- this election theft thing is radicalizing right wingers.
I understand that some people are going to get in tizzy over that statement but it's unfortunately true. It led a bunch of people to attach the Capitol building and this moron to attack the Speaker's house looking for her. These aren't organized protests that go off the rails, these are people actually attacking the levers of government. Every decade or so, something comes up that leads people to attack the government and it's actors directly.
This is the only one in my lifetime that I can think of. And this one is particularly concerning because it was fomented by people in government to attack other people in government. It wasn't some groundswell that came about organically.
