Although we don't have the overly-strident, right-wing lunatics demanding re-counts when soundly trounced (OK, we had 1 last month!), what is it about the MAGA adherents who threaten either legal action or violence? Aus seems to be far more docile, though we still have some quasi-QAnon fellow-travellers. However, once the election is finished, the squawking dies down in a week or so - "We wuz robbed" goes down badly in Aus, where 'whingers' (whining complainers) are usually given short shrift. Further, that AmericaFest and Turning Point are things at all staggers me - I sped through around 8 hours of lies, half-truths, bigotry and ignorance under the guise of 'patriotism', in about 20 minutes. That was all I could stand. Across gender, race, socio-economic quintile, speaking ability or clothing, they were all nuts, spouting preposterous theories and whipping the assembled crowd of sycophants into a red, white 'n blue frenzy. What worried me the most was the "We're comin' for ya!" threats, subtle or not so. Bobert, MTG, Lake, they're all the same and I'm glad but sad you have them and not us. Thank you for the article.
