There is a segment of Republicans, many of the Trump base, for whom allegations that Hillary Clinton and Dems were raping, killing and cannibalizing children--first in the basement of the Comet, then elsewhere, per Q-- are real as a heart attack. Who would vote for such people?

Addendum to your comment: Hillary & the Dems were accused of raping, killing & cannibalizing children in the basement of a pizza place that turned out NOT TO EVEN HAVE A BASEMENT!

That's how insane that particular conspiracy theory was.

But, undeterred, the propagandists metastasized the horror into America at large via QAnon.

(I strongly suspect both were active meaures by Russian intelligence. )

I actually agree with this. I hold them all responsible. It is like they think American democracy is some kind of perpetual motion machine that does not require care and oiling and attention keep running. They just keep throwing muck in the gears to keep their people in power and Make America White Again, or Republican Again, or some such drivel.

Agree, mostly. Not wanting to absolve the enablers but "not policing" is different from believing what the devotees believe. More odious, actually. They should not sit by during the zombie apocalypse waiting for the zombies to come to their senses.

You expect a lot. Push back is push back. (for that matter, McCain said that the swiftboating of John kerry was "bullshit.") Also, John McCain was the one who put a stake through the heart of Putin's expectation that Trump would lift sanctions via EO: The "Countering Russian (Foreign?) Aggression Act of 2017," passed by a veto-proof majority, took away trump's ability to do that.
