A year on from the Capitol attack, Americans don't have a shared understanding of what happened that day.

We spoke to some people who are in deep denial.

We shot these interviews outside two of Trump's recent events with Bill O'Reilly in Florida.

If they haven't faced the truth after a year of disproofs, doubtful that most ever will.

One potential problem could be with them serving on juries where it may only take one vote to decide a case. I don't know if anything can be done to reliably protect juries from delusional loons. Some corrupt lawyers may actually want to place such fools on the jury in order to "win" their case.

...that these mooks are out of the effing gourds? Who are dismayed by the degree to which people have become disconnected from reality?

Hint, journalists: It's not just a job for comedians.
