If Trump Is Not an Insurrectionist, What Is He? (www.nytimes.com)

Trump sought and actively tried to subvert constitutional government and overturn the results of the presidential election. And what he could not do through the arcane rules and procedures of the Electoral College, he tried to do through the threat of brute force, carried out by an actual mob.

It doesn't matter how much he lies about it and the rest of the right wing media lies about it he's an insurrectionist. It doesn't matter how much they lie about climate change it still exists and humans are the cause. It doesn't matter how much they lie they are for family values when they only want to get the religious right on board and control women. This is nothing new in their approach and has been going on for decades. There's a reason Fox news was created after Nixon and it was to do stuff like this.
