As much as I loathe right wing politicians and the angry extremists who act on their behalf, it alarms me that there's so little attention being paid to the right wing propaganda machine that empowers them. The government is limited in what it can do, due to the first amendment, but I'm glad to see the private sector is successfully deplatforming them. Truth is, the riot in Washington was what they want. They've been screaming for violent revolution, they've been preaching how much they hate government and politicians and with Trumps election loss, they've been screaming about election fraud. Blame the rioters, sure, but don't forget to blame the lairs who hyped them up.
