This was my first post about the insurrection that day:
My God
Never forget. Trump did this. But the Republicans, every last one of them, even Mitt Romney who could have switched parties, collaborated.
This. Is. On. Them.
It is even more on them today than it was then. They re still genuflecting to that orange monster.
A snap poll from that night:
In fact, many Republicans (45%) actively support the actions of those at the Capitol, although as many expressed their opposition (43%).
Among all voters, almost two-thirds (63%) say that they “strongly” oppose the actions taken by President Trump’s supporters, with another 8% say they “somewhat” oppose what has happened.
Overall, one in five voters (21%) say they support the goings-on at the Capitol. Those who believe that voter fraud took place and affected the election outcome are especially likely to feel that today’s events were justified, at 56%.
I guess that’s good? Only 21% of Americans — 45% of Republicans — think that an attempted coup is fine. How reassuring.
It’s on them too.
