Cult Leaders and Trump: What we know and what we don’t
We know that Joe Biden won the 2020 Presidential election fair and square, and that there was not, in any state, sufficient voting irregularities to change which candidate won that state. We also know that President Trump refused to accept this fact, and instead, used his continuing rally appearances to stoke anguish, fear, resentment, entitlement, rage and – yes, belief in whatever he said.
I read Seth Abramson’s tweet-by-tweet analysis of Trump’s January 6 th speech. While that speech was preceded by other Trump speeches with similarly strong and direct messages of hatred, his January 6 th speech does show encouragement to act violently during the coming ‘March’ of the day.
