Donald Trump invited rightwing extremists, white nationalists, and conspiracy theorists into the mainstream. This is his legacy. They used to hover in the shadows or under a rock. No more.
People say about the terrorists who stormed the Capitol, “This is not who we are.” Not quite right. These haters are part of who we are.
This report from the Anti-Defamation League names names. We will living with these anti-democratic forces for years to come.

The link for the report is missing!

Thank you Laura Chapman!
Thank you for the link, Laura. These people are regular rogues’ gallery of the dangerous and despicable. It reminded me of looking up all the billionaires and ‘stink tanks’ that are trying to dismantle public education. Diane devotes a whole chapter in ‘Goliath’ where she names the names too.
Thank you, Laura. My oversight!
I look forward to ADL’s description of John C. Eastman who was the lone person on the podium with Guiliani while he addressed the mob.
Possible anti-abortion sentiments of the people in the ADL
article weren’t discussed. Vice identified violent anti-abortionists e.g. John Brockhoeft , at the rally (1-14-2021). Denial of women the right to control their bodies is a strong current in sexist, anti-abortion groups and, it has found support with the main stream conservative religious and their leaders.
It’s as if, there is a concerted effort to minimize the source of Trump’s support by ignoring right wing religion.
U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama suggested in a TV interview on Thursday that President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration should be delayed – even though the date is set in the U.S. Constitution.”
STILL trying to overturn the election. Every sore loser that ever was comes nowhere near these sore losers – they lost the election but they won the lifetime award for refusing to accept a loss.
Sore losers should be called “Trumps” from now on.
Tommy Tuberville was named by WashPost columnist Dana Milbank as “the dimmest” member of Congress.
He thinks the three branches of the federal government are the House, the Senate, and the Presidency.
He skipped civics in high school.
Only five watts burning in that 100 watt bulb.
I read about each of the individuals and by the end wondered what on earth twisted their thinking other than being in touch with like-minded bigots. Like Trump, all are seeking and getting publicity and an adrenalin rush from conjuring who to hate and with what intensity. All have benefitted from having Trump as president. They will not go away.
It’s really quite sophisticated. They’re being actively propagandized by professionals.
I live in a very Trumpy area and people I know personally here follow this website:

Chiara. I looked at the website and was surprised that the host is from the UK. Parts of the website, have high production values and evidently are not connected to You Tube.
The opener says “Jesus Loves You.” A child doing something on TicTok briefly appears and from there it is non-stop marketing of gold and silver. For today, Jan 15. Dr Charlie Ward did not say much except “stay inside and get your popcorn ready for the show.” The con man is creepy.
I checked Media Bias Fact Check.com to see if that site had rated
https://drcharlieward.com/
and the result was “Sources Pending”
The following sources are pending review
(Some sources might not be added based on a variety of factors)

I couldn’t find Ward’s site on the “Pending” list.
I then turned to ALEXA, a site that ranks blogs and websites.
https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/drcharlieward.com
ALEXA ranks more than 30=million sites and This site has a very high rank at 43,243 and most of the sites followers are in the United States, Belgium, and Canada.
For a comparison, I checked to see what the rank was for NYTIMES.com and DianeRavitch.net
New York Times.com was ranked #73
https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/nytimes.com
And, Diane Ravitch.net was ranked #871,729.
