I feel cautiously optimistic. I read here I think that about 30% of repubs


Think that Antifa raided the Capitol last week. About 15% of all Americans - that’s my current estimate of the % I’d sarcastically call American Taliban. That is a lot of people. But maybe less than I thought. I might have put it at twice that.

If Trump’s approval among repubs as of yesterday was 64%, that’s a pretty sharp decline from its Trump term levels, and hopefully, a snapshot of a number in free fall. I bet a lot of that 15% are members of the various RWNJ groups that have been looking to overthrow the state for decades. Trump elevated them. They may be in the process of being sent back to the fringe.

There are still too many apologists. No doubt - the more of a spotlight we can shine on everything that’s happened in the past 2 mths, the more that might erode. So, the process is still unfolding.
