As Trump backs down from his Stop the Steal hoax, the supporters he radicalized are vowing to carry on the fight without him.
By Jesselyn Cook
For months, President Donald Trumps message to his supporters was clear: The election was being stolen from him, and they needed to fight to take it back.
So on Jan. 6, during a Trump-promoted rally to Stop the Steal, thousands laid siege to the U.S. Capitol in a stunning attempt to do just that. The fallout of their failed insurrection, which resulted in five deaths, was swift: Trump was deplatformed from nearly every major social network and, on Wednesday, impeached for a historic second time.
When he emerged on camera a short while later, tail tucked between his legs, to condemn the rioters whom he himself had incited, and to call for a peaceful transfer of power to President-elect Joe Biden, his base felt betrayed.
So he basically just sold out the patriots who got rounded up for him, one person wrote in a 15,000-member pro-Trump Telegram group. Just wow.
In online havens for MAGA extremists, including Gab, CloutHub, MeWe, Telegram and far-right message boards such as 8kun, the tone toward Trump is shifting. HuffPost reviewed thousands of messages across these platforms and found that a growing minority of the presidents once-devout backers are now denouncing him and rejecting his recent pleas for peace. Some have called for his arrest or execution, labeling him a traitor and a coward. Alarmingly, many of those who are irate about Bidens supposed electoral theft are still plotting to forcibly prevent him from taking office with or without Trumps help.

We knew this wouldn't be over when Joe is signed in. They're in it for the violence, not some fearless leader.
