>You act as if this is some new phenomenon

It's not new. What's new is having your tribe so convinced that an election was stolen and them so unquestioning that they storm and loot the capitol while being armed.



Or you know having your tribe so convinced that they impeach the sitting president twice. People were calling for impeachment since day one.

And in 2020 there isn't zero reason to think the election was stolen. There is overwhelming evidence that the amount of likely fraudulent ballots cast exceeds the margin of victory in several states.

The false equivalences continue. The first you mention was standard course of action when laws are possibly broken and the second is just free speech by individuals.

The few cases I've heard were committed by conservative-leaning voters. Or are you implying it wasn't a few individuals but a conspiracy? This dead horse again. Trump's people already tried with all the money they had to find a national conspiratorial bias and were shot down for lack of evidence many times even by members of their own 'tribe'. I guess you think everyone loves Trump so it must be a conspiracy. You're probably so entrenched in your own informational hugbox, where nobody can say anything against the tribe or else feelings get hurt, that you think it's impossible for the majority of people to not like Trump. I'm sure you think the opposite but I think it's caused a lot of people on the right to be so out of touch with what the majority of Americans really think but they can't see otherwise because they're trapped in a hugbox. And to be fair, the left has this issue also in some circles.


This study finds exactly the opposite.
