The challenge with ever getting to a unified country is that we dont share a common set of facts. People on the right are being indoctrinated with alternate facts that fit their emotional needs, and Trump is being placed at the center of worship.
Whats rather pathetic is that in the world of Trump worship, the most ardent fans are also the most expendable. Look how quickly Trumps lawyers and right wing media have cast the MAGA seditionists off the boat with no life raft.
The mainstream media is spending more time rehabbing the members of the riotous lynch lob which is its own massive problem for our industry, frankly than Republicans or their media are. As far as theyre concerned its new MAGA phone, who dis?
By the way after the OANN guy made that absurd claim, they played part of Trumps 1/6 speech that proved exactly the opposite (the part where he talks about maybe we wont be cheering for *all* of them and youve got to show strength... But I presume that hardly mattered.

They are all very prone to being mentally defective for their self inflicted failure to live in reality. Until this country beats them over the head and shames the hell out of them for it, they will not stop.

"Alternate facts" = LIES. So call them that.
