.@senatemajldr on the U.S. Capitol Attack: "The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people."
Yes, one has to admit to that. Trump's whining about unevidenced election theft caused a bunch of doofuses to raid a largely unguarded Capitol. I'm unclear how long the occupation lasted, but I think it was about as long as it took the Powers That Be to take it seriously. It was a huge embarrassment, but obviously never a serious or credible attempt at a coup.
I consider the lies about the racism narrative to be more virulent and dangerous and destabilizing, but clearly not enough of the cultural seats of messaging power are with me on that.
