    The Majorie Talylor Greene/Fuhrer vacay guy/Boehbert types are not the Republican fringe. They ARE the Party. The cellophane men follow and emulate THEM. A member of House minority leadership called HIMSELF David Duke w/o the baggage.

    "These are no longer fringe movements and fringe people. They have fused with the normal politics of the Republican Party. At this point, they're coming to define the politics of the GOP." on Republican figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene.

    1. They are never, ever, ever attacking Iran on their own. 2. Israel's right wing govt and generals are pretty much opposed to any outcome on Iran that doesn't involve the US going to war with the country, hence the opposition to effective diplomacy.

    Hopefully this puts to bed the perception the riot was led by conspiracists, shamans and larpers.

    Remarkable investigation finds that the Proud Boys, who have tried to play down their involvement in the Capitol riot, in fact led some of the most pivotal moments of escalation.
