Many top Republicans cynically downplayed Trump’s threats even though they themselves once warned of his danger and support of violence. MSNBC’s Ari Melber documents this behavior in a special report, citing an important new article from historian Timothy Snyder outlining how elected Republicans made a bargain with Trump by drawing on historical lessons about autocrats and propaganda. Snyder himself joins Melber to discuss his analysis, Snyder asserting the GOP is “based on the idea of gaming the system.”(This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 01/18/2021.

I now believe that there is no fixing the stupid, if you believe anything with no evidence, there is no hope.
And that’s the sad truth 🤷

@Michael Jenkins Are you sure? Rudy held up his phone when he said that and we all know that Rudy is not that good with phones. He butt dials and leaves messages for the wrong people. Not an electronics whiz kid, poor Rudy.

The GOP has its soul… And it’s become a corrupt ugly shriveled thing
Stop calling it the GOP. They are called repUGLYcunts.
They thought they could control the narcissistic devil that they unleashed..
I’m in Austin, where those Trump Trucks ran the Harris bus off the road on the way into our town. Everyone here was very shook up by it. As soon as I saw how the GOP reacted to it? I knew something like this would happen. I’m so angry.
Yup Spanky’s getting his MAGA Many Americans Getting Angry #resist
for me, it was the moment he used Secret Service to assault the media for his bible photo op. I knew something big was comming.

It appears that they have all been trial runs in one way or another. Here’s to hoping they don’t succeed.
This country’s politics is out of control.
Read ‘On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century.’ By Timothy Synder. It’s a concise read but very thorough.
Yep, Snyder nails it.
These people that don’t GET IT, simply find it easier to hook their noses to the brown creases of their god and not critically think.
Trump lovers and religion fanatics have a lot in common. They don’t care what the truth is. They believe what they want, and they don’t ask for evidence.
Imagine evil people were telling you lies to make money. What would you do?
Trump – pResident evil.
Trump pays for nothing
We can only hope and pray he pays for his crimes
That his people and followers and family pay for their crimes
It will be a first for many
But I’m sure they have been doing and acting like this for their entire lives
Bad editing. Cut-off point- terrible. Clearly this professor had a lot more to say, and did.
“I will pay the legal fees, I promise”. Right now, that is an especially ironic clip.
You can’t make logical sense out of people’s actions whose goals are only about “power”
Trump could not prove in court 60+ suits any rigged election. If Trump and his minions are not charged next time more ppl will die believing a Lie!
