Something I've perhaps learned on Saidit is that the disinformation of the far right has reached in its followers a level of psychosis. Today on the BBC news they interviewed a pro-Trump supporter outside the courtroom - a middle-age lady - who said genuinely that if Trump is put in jail 'we'll go home and get our guns and start a civil war'. Part of me wants to see them try and fail at that. But it's sadly much worse to have the normalization of some of their insane beliefs in the daily news and across all social media. And of course the rest of the world is watching this small group of schizo dumbasses, sometimes identifying them as standard Americans.
