Donald Trump and allies are rerunning election Big Lie. They could incite violence again.
U.S. Capitol insurrection can't be repeated. The Voter Protection Program has put together a report that takes down every lie about the 2020 election.

Granted this is a real challenge when the media has such a right-wing bias.
That said, we can do little messaging things like republicans do effectively, for instance. For instance, never refer to loser45 by name, always use an insult or a slight at a minimum.
In 2000, republicans made it very awkward for gore to protest by shouting "sore/loserman" nonstop. Similarly, we need to constantly call the former guy a sore loser.
The sorest loser.

Conservative organizations and media outlets are trying to build up insurrectionist fever timed to peak again on March 4.
