Trump is summoning the mob with language more vile and apocalyptic than ever before—because he got away with 1/6, which is another matter—but how receptive and malleable are his followers this time? I’m curious as to whether there has been “chatter,” not that we would hear about it. One would think the schtick—albeit amped up—is getting tiresome. At least to some. Recall the sad little protests following the Mar-a-Lago search.

Progressives should not stifle speakers with opposing viewpoints. For one thing, it’s bad politics.

We don't know when, where, or if he's going to be arrested, so it's a lot harder to summon the mob than it was on January 6. Since both TFG and his minions have short memories and the attention spans of gnats (with apologies to any gnats that may be reading this), keeping them waiting is a great tactic on the part of DA Bragg.

Gnats don't typically make it to the second sentence, so they likely didn't see the insult or the apology.
