Believing everybody is secretly as much of a stupid racist loser as they are — but that other people aren’t brave enough to admit it, like they are — is one of the most important core delusions of MAGA.

I heard an NPR reporter refer to January 6th as "perhaps the most videotaped crime in history" which is a really good way to drive home just how ridiculous and brazen the Republican attempts to rewrite history have been.
