"The GOP and its media allies continue to dodge, deflect, and minimize the enormity of the event; and they have convinced much of their base to either look the other way, or actually applaud the assault on our seat of government."

"The GOP and its media allies continue to dodge, deflect, and minimize the enormity of the event; and they have convinced much of their base to either look the other way, or actually applaud the assault on our seat of government."
I would note that the base didn't need much convincing. Since the arrival of Trump, it has been abundantly clear that there was a huge market for lies. Give up your honor and you can be a rightwing star.
The "mainstream" media isn't doing so hot either. Ari Melber of MSNBC just last night gave air time to Peter fucking Navarro of all people to spout his nonsense. Did Ari push back? Kind of. But Navarro just kept on and was able to get his bullshit out to everyone watching.
Stop legitimizing these people by giving them air time to spout their lies and coup plotting.
I'm surprised Navarro's "Green Bay Sweep" (Charlie has to hate the insurrection being tied to his beloved Packers) hasn't gotten more coverage. Navarro is, of course, peddling the narrative that Trump didn't want the violence because the violence interfered with their well-organized conspiracy to overturn the election results. As an aside, not sure why Navarro thinks it's helpful to implicate the President in a well-organized, quite likely illegal conspiracy, but he may not be a smart man.)
Part of Navarro's story makes zero sense. He says the plan was to use congressional objections to the electoral college votes and subsequent debate to force the mainstream media to cover Trump's position about the election and sway public opinion in favor of the President. When has any Trumper ever thought he could win the political debate if the mainstream media would just give them more coverage for their position? There is likely some truth to Navarro's narrative, but certainly not the media strategy part.
Ari Melber is an excellent legal analyst, but he's really weak on politics. He is very knowledgeable about hip hop though...but then again, what white Jewish male isn't? I joke.

Jesus, what's it going to take?
