Should people propagating false narratives like "stop the steal" be prosecuted?"

Iowa no.

Ohio could, but more likely not this cycle. Ohio's one of the most flip states. Been Red-Blue-Red-Blue since the 50s-60s

For sure they are, Ohio could flip again, even though very Red since the 50s, Florida has flipped before. Texas is more purple than its ever been and Georgia flipped for the first time since 1992 thanks in part to Trumpers being their shitty selves for four years.

Don't forget Arizona, they want that one back as well.

I was talking about the big states and I don't know how Trump or De Santis can appeal to a state that is quite high in Mexican-Americans.

Respondents to a The Economist/YouGov poll published this week were asked "Would you say that Joe Biden legitimately won the election, or not?"

By huge majorities, every Republican-leaning political subgroup—Trump voters (77%), Republicans (76%), and conservatives (73%)—said that "Biden did NOT legitimately win the election."

Those results represent a slight increase over the results of the same poll in February, when majorities of Trump voters (76%), Republicans (70%), and conservatives (71%) said that "Biden did NOT legitimately win the election."

The big lie is still working.

Al Schmidt, a Republican city commissioner on the Philadelphia Board of Elections, told the committee he received several threats, including one that said, "Tell the truth or your three kids will be fatally shot," along with the names of his children, his address, and a photo of his home.

Schmidt said other messages he received included, "Cops can't help you," "Heads on spikes," and "Perhaps cuts and bullets will soon arrive at [his address.]"

"There are additional threats that my family asked me not to share today because they are so graphic and disturbing," he said, adding, "I have three little kids. My youngest is seven years old. No matter what our party affiliation, this is not okay. And let's be clear, this is domestic terrorism. The whole point is to terrorize."

A growing number of election officials in Arizona are speeding up retirements or changing their careers. Nowhere is the trend more apparent than in Yavapai County, which is solidly Republican. Donald Trump and former U.S. Senator McSally both won the county in 2020.

Yavapai's top election officials, Recorder Leslie Hoffman and Elections Director Lynn Constabile will not be around to oversee the count. "The rhetoric and the climate of elections has got really, really hot. We've been under a lot of pressure," Hoffman said.

Hoffman is taking a job that has nothing to do with elections. "The threats I have, the sheriff patrols my house periodically. It's getting to be a lot and when the job offer came, I took it," she said.

When asked to describe what democracy means to them, 47 percent of Republicans named the protection of individual rights and liberties, while just 22 percent named majority rule—the textbook definition, it apparently does not go without saying, of a democratic political system.

Respondents to the poll were also asked, "Thinking about the people who forced their way into the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, would you say that was more of an insurrection against the United States or more of an act of patriotism?" For Republicans, 57 percent said, "Act of patriotism."

"I don't know whether we should take a lot of comfort in knowing there are still 43 percent of Republicans who think that was wrong," Guy Molyneux, from the pollster Hart Research Associates reflected, "or despair that it's only 43 percent."

A whopping 68% of Fox News viewers blame the January 6th attack on "Left wing protesters trying to make Trump look bad," the most of any viewership group by almost double.

Respondents to a new Yahoo! News/YouGov poll, were asked "How much are each of the following to blame for the January 6th attack on the Capitol?"

Among all respondents, the least-popular response was "Left wing protesters trying to make Trump look bad."

Republicans truly are the party of zero accountability.

Are you guys saying it wasn't Antifa

I think some of them really are just naive simpletons going by mob mentality. Some might change their minds, but it's still likely the Republicans could take the House in November unless the Democrats really make a change.

"Rudy Giuliani told he’s a target of Georgia criminal election probe"

They are all get prosecuted because the obvious answer to my OP the day I posted it is tes they should alternate facts = lies.

More than 18 months after the rioting at the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob, an estimated 13 million U.S. adults, or 5% of the adult population, agree that force would be justified to restore Donald Trump to the White House, and an estimated 15 million Americans believe force would be justified to prevent Trump from being prosecuted, should he be indicted for mishandling classified documents, according to a new study from the University of Chicago.

"We have not just a political threat to our democracy, we have a violent threat to our democracy," Dr. Robert Pape, the director of the University of Chicago's Chicago Project on Security and Threats told "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan on September 18th. "Today, there are millions of individuals who don't just think the election was stolen in 2020; they support violence to restore Donald Trump to the White House."

It's likely a far higher number than that as there's going to be Rightist who support violence as a means to reinstate and/or protect their orange god Trump, but wouldn't openly say it except in the company of like-minded people.

These Rightist are the same types of people who have been praying for a second US Civil War so they can shoot and murder fellow Americans, just because they have different political and social views.

There's Rightist who will do violence as a means to support Trump and there's ones who will egg on and support others to do the violence in their place.

Broly is the one of this group who could have actually been at the Jan 6th 2021 insurrection. He's said he went to several Trump rallies in 2016 and onward.

The stalking horse Rittenhouse failed, the insurrection failed, these people will fold when confronted by resistance.

The majority are cowards who will slink back to their basements and bunkers to rank about imagined "government oppression" and whatnot, but some people could be hurt or killed, as even a coward can pull a trigger.
