https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-jan-6-campaign_n_638e3ebbe4b0214ec9822ab0
"The emerging theme … is not only that he actually won in 2020 and the election was rigged against him, but also … Jan. 6 … riot was an appropriate response. He has made it increasingly clear that he believes that he & his supporters are above the law."
The Far Right Is Getting What It Asked For
With Ye on Infowars and Elon Musk lifting the floodgates on Twitter, the right wing is getting the free-speech thunderdome of its dreams. Or nightmares.

"But that’s not all. That disinformation is leading directly to the worst flu season in many years, at a time when the U.S. is seeing one of the nastiest flu variants in some time.
The disinformation campaign around COVID-19 has done exactly what anti-vax forces hoped; it has spilled over into a growing resistance to vaccines in general."

False Satanic Rumors Target White House Holiday Decorations
The unveiling of the 2022 holiday decorations at the White House sparked claims that the Bidens intentionally included satanic imagery. This is false; the gilded mirror shown in photos shared online has been in the White House collection since 1946 and was displayed during other presidencies.
Losing Republican candidate wants Texas House to void results of his race
Mike May, who lost to Houston state Rep. Jon Rosenthal by 6,000 votes, wants the Texas House to order a new election. State law allows such an appeal, but the House hasn’t approved one in more than 40 years.

The Florida governor claims politics has no place in the classroom but the ousting of a well-liked school board superintendent proves it is thriving on school boards.
America is still deeply traumatized — and the midterms didn't fix that
Many voters turned against Trump — and that's good. But beneath that momentary relief, the data is sobering
"The damage is at once physical, emotional, psychological, intellectual, financial, spiritual and political, and is nowhere near being healed or repaired."
“Not just another alternate elector”: Judge identifies GOPer who played central role in Trump plot

'Goofball' Arizona supervisors buried for handing Katie Hobbs a 'gift' with refusal to certify win
https://www.rawstory.com/kari-lake-katie-hobbs-2658797573/
"Longtime Arizona Central columnist E .J. Montini could barely control his amusement on Tuesday after the two Republican supervisors tasked with certifying the 2022 election results refused to do so even though Republican Kari Lake was the recipient of 58.9 percent of the votes and two other Republicans hold huge voting advantages."
QAnon Leader Inadvertently Outs Himself as a Groomer
QAnon leader Phil Godlewski carried on an inappropriate relationship with a minor that police records suggest turned sexual.

Trump, Done with Democracy, Calls on Kari Lake to Be ‘Installed’ as Arizona’s Governor
Facing intense GOP pressure, Republican strongholds in Arizona are waiting until the last possible moment to certify their election results

A spike in antisemitism, violent protests, and politically fueled mass shootings is happening because the U.S. far-right is losing, and lashing out.
