If you argue with a crazy person, people might not know which one of you is. And if you dismantle conspiracy theories, true believers think it’s all part of the cover-up. That’s how it feels to take on January 6 denialism, as I attempt to do today. open.substack.com/pub/statusku... - ThreadSky

Why are you in league with the lizard people? They want to eat our BRAINS.

And not even the whole brain!
Just the front left lobe.
That's just wasteful

He just watched Rat Patrol hundreds of times! 😉

The Ray Epps Argument.

You are saying that gullible people can be induced to do violent things simply by the words of a stranger.

I supposed they would then really be motivated by the words of someone they knew and worshiped like the former president.

Good luck with that. You might want to visit a psychiatric hospital a train a bit on schizophrenic patients. If you succeed with them, you might succeed with MAGAts.

I couldn't even continue the conversation with a relative when she (middle class but privileged white woman) said Jan 6th was committed by the Democrats. Nevermind that the "mission" was to "stop the steal" as those nutjobs say.

You’re doing essential work, and I for one truly appreciate it.

Trumpers cannot be reasoned with. I argue that if the guards would have opened fire and shot more of them, it would be harder to deny who participated. I am sure Trumpers would argue bodies had been placed there…..can never win with those who have lost the concept of reality though.

Just heard that day before yesterday when I asked a prominent voice what they thought Jan 6 was, exactly.

Incited by Feds, unscheduled tour, protest that devolved into a riot, People visiting their own house. The voice, that usually has something to say about everything, had no response.
