I spent some time reading a MAGA message board to try and gauge their reaction to Trump's video yesterday. I am here to report the infighting is DIZZYING, even for me, someone extremely online for two Dem primaries, Louis CK, the dress, the Ghostbusters reboot, and HBO's Girls

At the risk of wading in, which I don't really want to: some people think he's betraying them and giving up on the cause; some people are assuming that when he references the "new administration" coming in, he's merely implying he's gonna ditch Pence and get a new VP

Some think he has a plan; some bemoan he's had no plan all year (but is still the best Prez of their lifetime); some claim the Capitol rioters were Antifa; others admit "this was us," (some with pride, some with revulsion); Ashli Babbitt is either a "martyr" or a "crisis actor"
