I just read that article on the Guardian site. I confirms everything we've talked about during the last 4 & 1/2 years. Trump was under Russian control. They picked him because he was intellectually vulnerable and liked flattery.
Cowboys for Trump leader refuses virus test in jail excerpt: "He was arrested later on Jan. 17 as he returned to Washington, vowing opposition to President Joe Biden’s election victory and inauguration. U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui on Friday threatened Griffin with contempt of court if he fails to appear in coming days at a detention hearing by phone or video conference. He notes that Griffin has been yelling at officers and banging on his jail cell door. “This matter will not move forward to a detention hearing until the defendant appears," the judge wrote. Griffin has said he wasn’t involved in violence at the U.S. Capitol and never went inside the building as he waded among throngs of Trump supporters on an outer balcony. Federal prosecutors want Griffin held without bail as a flight risk and danger to others, citing a history of threatening comments, racial invective, access to firearms and vows that Joe Biden would never be president. Faruqui says Griffin's own actions led to his solitary confinement."
Greene is in the same league as Trump, Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Lin Wood. G.O.P. Quiet as Pressure Mounts to Address Lawmaker’s Conspiracy Claims excerpt: "Ms. Greene suggested in 2018 that a devastating wildfire that ravaged California was started by “a laser” beamed from space and controlled by a prominent Jewish banking family with connections to powerful Democrats. She endorsed executing Democratic lawmakers, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She served as a prolific writer for a now-defunct conspiracy blog called “American Truth Seekers,” writing posts with headlines including “MUST READ — Democratic Party Involved With Child Sex, Satanism, and The Occult.” And she argued that the 2018 midterm elections — in which the first two Muslim women were elected to the House — were part of “an Islamic invasion of our government.” Ms. Greene has repeatedly claimed in multiple videos and social media posts that several school shooting massacres were “false flag” events perpetrated by government officials in an attempt to drum up support for gun control laws. In an October 2020 video surfaced on Friday by Mother Jones, she said that the “only way you get your freedoms back is it’s earned with the price of blood.” Ms. Greene is perhaps best known for having endorsed QAnon, the pro-Trump conspiracy movement that claims that Mr. Trump was facing down a shadowy cabal of Democratic pedophiles. (She told Fox News last year that she “chose a different path,” and a spokesman, Nick Dyer, told The New York Times this week that she did not support QAnon.)"

Trump loves these conspiracy theories because it's all about control. If you can convince a group of people that a wildfire was ignited by a space laser in geosynchronous orbit over planet earth, over the word of a state game warden who tracked down the source of the fire to a group of campers who actually confessed, you can convince them of anything.
Actually, I think the process begins like this; if you can convince a reasonably intelligent and well-educated adult that the world is only 6,000 years old and the reason there are no dinosaurs is because they couldn't fit on the Ark, you can convince them of anything.
The process begins in school, where their teachers tell them English only has one grammar, when it has two, and never bother to teach them how to use a dictionary, share their words, and play nice. Academics are so shameless, they routinely make up their own rhetoric and even nonsense words. Essentially, organized religion and academics both serve the wealthy, who insist that everyone arguing over the definition of stupid, is better than unions and communism.
22 women have been arrested. 2 Proud Boys charged with conspiracy in Capitol riot, feds announce excerpt: "In addition to the four Proud Boys members identified so far, four of those charged have been linked to the Oath Keepers and three to a far-right group known as the Three Percenters – two of the most well-known national extremist groups. Authorities arrested two women in Pennsylvania Friday, including Doylestown gym owner Dawn Bancroft, who filmed a selfie video while leaving the Capitol on Jan. 6. The FBI stated that in the video Bancroft said: "We were looking for Nancy to shoot her in the friggin’ brain but we didn’t find her." The FBI believes that statement refers to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. A woman in the video with Bancroft, Diana Santos-Smith of Pennsylvania, also was arrested Friday. The two women are among 22 who have been arrested thus far. Of the 99 suspects where an age is known, the ages range from 20 to 70, and the average age is 41."
Five members of Trump's legal team have exited, including Butch Bowers who was to lead Trump impeachment defense. Trump had difficulty finding the current group that has now left. Trump attorneys leave legal team, less than 2 weeks before impeachment trial excerpts: "Washington — Less than two weeks before his second impeachment trial, former President Donald Trump has parted ways with two key members of his legal team. South Carolina attorney Butch Bowers, who was expected to be the lead attorney, and Deborah Barbier are no longer part of his team, Trump spokesman Jason Miller said Saturday night." "CNN, which first reported the news, has also said that three other attorneys have left the legal team. Mr. Trump's second impeachment trial is set to begin on February 9. The House impeached Mr. Trump on January 13 on a charge of "incitement of insurrection." One week earlier, Mr. Trump had encouraged his supporters to "fight like hell" to stop Congress from counting the Electoral College votes, the final step in affirming President Biden's victory. A mob of his supporters then stormed the U.S. Capitol, sending lawmakers fleeing and delaying the count for nearly six hours. Five people died in the melee."
Trump raised the most money for his election fraud claims before the Electoral College voted on Dec. 14. That was before the false hopes that he had instilled in his followers deflated. Trump Raised $255.4 Million in 8 Weeks as He Sought to Overturn Election Result excerpt: "Mr. Trump had previously announced that he and the R.N.C. had raised $207.5 million in the first month following the election. The new records show that his fund-raising fell sharply in December compared with November, with an especially notably dip after Dec. 14, the day the Electoral College formally cast its ballots to make Mr. Biden the nation’s 46th president, and reality may have set in for some of Mr. Trump’s supporters about the futility of the efforts to overturn the result. In the two weeks leading up to the Electoral College vote, Mr. Trump and the R.N.C. had raised an average of $2.9 million every day online; in the two weeks after, the average was $1.2 million."
