You can't be serious. There were literally millions of users on the platform.
> Poll: One-fifth of voters, almost half of Republicans, agree with storming of US Capitol
The question asked was: "Supporters of President Trump have stormed the US Capitol to protest lawmakers certifying Joe Biden’s election victory. Based on what you have read or heard about this, do you support or oppose these actions? (%)"
Breakdown groups were: Strongly or somewhat support, Don't know, N/A - Unaware of the story, Strongly or somewhat oppose
I would be interested in seeing the strongly and somewhat support breakdowns. I have no problem with groups protesting elections, I think that the Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol building did the worst thing for their cause.
A lot of the horror and cognitive dissonance of this moment is that the mob the President aimed at Congress on Wednesday was not a weird or fringe group. They were just his fans. Look at the crowd, along with the armored people smashing windows and beating cops were smiling grandparents with flags. It's all the same group.
The overlap between "mainstream republican" and "right wing terrorist" in our society has become horrifyingly blurred. So a lot of sincere attempts to address extremism look like "censoring republicans".
No one's censoring people on social media for quoting William F. Buckley, but for actively planning and encouraging a violent insurrection.
"This election was stolen" is way more dangerous than "Fire!" in a crowded theater because if the bullshit sticks then you actually end up with war.
But let's be clear: Republicans violently sacked Congress and and attempted to overthrow our government. It wasn't all Republicans, or even most.
But the bulk of Republicans who didn't do this should be standing up and vocally disowning those who did, before their entire party is perverted.
If you don't, I and a lot of other people will assume you support the Cruz, Hawley & Trump insurrection, with reason.
