They are clearly brainwashed or just nutz! Did those who voted for Nixon react this way? Of course not, since it was the Republicans who respected the law and brought him down. I kept thinking that the same thing needed to happen with TFG, but this generation of congressional Republicans (except for Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney) are just as lawless and unhinged as he is!

Their lies, and those of Rush Limpballs (may he rot in hell), pushed this nation over a cliff.

An hour of cultism and denialism along with some insults directed at me, then he had another hour-plus phone conversation with my right wing sister in Houston. Irrational MAGA hysteria.

I mean, it only follows that the same respect for law and order that made them outraged at Hillary Clinton for her private email server would lead them to condemn Trump for illegally carting classified documents to his private residence.

After all, they're not hypocrites are they?

Democrats must obey every minor rule and law. Republicans should be free to do whatever they want because they are not really breaking the law, they’re doing what’s best for the country, and more garbage like that. There was at least some respect for the law before Trump. Now there is none, even by most elected Republicans. Trump gave them the green light to be just as corrupt as he is, and they have rushed to copy him. The level of corruption now in Republican legislatures and state officials is astonishing with so many working to nullify future votes and even now to overturn the 2020 election.

and the guest (who monitors their social media channels) looked truly shaken. Unfortunately his "beat" has him firmly entrenched in the abyss of their netherworld and I expect, especially for a young man like him, that it can be difficult to distinguish/tease out the actual actionable "threats" (which are what the federal investigative agencies monitor and track) from the volume of hyperbole and keyboard warrioring that this crowd is fond of.

Some info on him - https://berkeleybeacon.com/emerson-alum-ben-collins-finds-success-covering-dystopian-beat/
