Taking this back to the topic, it is ironic how much of what Hillary Clinton predicted about the Trump years proved to be true. Among her Cassandra moments was the "basket of deplorables" comment that she was lambasted for.^ A lot of America is in denial that this coup attempt had anything to do with racists frantic to keep the Racist in Chief in power....
Meanwhile...this is the intelligence level of the QAnon crowd....
We ended up with a pu pu platter of deplorables last week. There were Orthodox Jewish activists but there were also the Camp Auschwitz types there. There were the Jesus Saves evangelicals but there were also a LGBT rainbow flags. What many of them- along with their Republican House Representatives- had in common was that they were invested in conspiracy theories and right-wing delusions.
Several websites are beginning to go through and look at pictures of the "very fine people" and identify the various symbols of hate that were at the riots:
