    Default How Republicans Are Warping Reality Around the Capitol Attack

    Loyalists to President Trump are increasingly relying on conspiracy theories and misinformation, drawing false equivalence with last summer’s racial protests and blaming outside agitators.

    In one of the ultimate don’t-believe-your-eyes moments of the Trump era, these Republicans have retreated to the ranks of misinformation, claiming it was Black Lives Matter protesters and far-left groups like Antifa who stormed the Capitol — in spite of the pro-Trump flags and QAnon symbology in the crowd.

    In the Trumptopian World of 'Up is Down', ... they will all coalesce around 'It was Antifa dressed as Trump Supporters who stormed the Capitol'. And then go on and talk about how they love Law & Order, God Bless Our Troops, and wrap themselves in the American Flag.

    Why it is important to vigorously go after every participant in the Capitol attack. Including Congressmen.

    Especially Congressmen.
    They should be unseated.. to a one.
    It is the responsibility of every American citizen to own a modern military rifle.

    It is shocking that any US Congressman would be involved in any way. But Democrats have stated this is the case.

    I mean, this is just what they do now. It's part of the right's m.o. as much as anything.

    They have fallen down the rabbit hole of conspiracy and misinformation very quickly. I hope they make it back to reality - but who knows....
