I think Fox thought the coup they were helping foment would be successful. And they may have been closer to right then we’ll ever know.
*than*
The Republican Party, including the President, a majority of elected members of the House, a significant faction of Senators—who are still being protected by the rest—and its corporate propaganda apparatus, openly tried to overthrow the government in favor of a corrupt autocrat.
It’s messed up but it happened, and being alarmed about it doesn’t make you alarmist.

They should all be purged from government, then investigated.

"And as much as the right’s critics might prefer an understanding of what’s happened to our politics that flatters their intelligence, the challenge we’re facing isn’t that millions of hapless and benighted yokels have been bamboozled by disinformation..." newrepublic.com/article/161266…
"It’s that millions of otherwise ordinary people from many walks of life—including many who went to and even excelled in college—have a material or ideological interest in keeping the Democratic Party and its voters from power by any means possible." newrepublic.com/article/161266…
The short version, and it's one all decent people of good intent should take to heart:

Republicans aren't stupid. They're evil.

I want to read the words "Vice President Harris Breaks Tie" approximately forty magrillian times this year.
The best bills will be passed with zero Republican votes.
A "magrillian" is "an amount exactly one greater than whatever number all the "fixed your post" twitter-reply one-uppers were hoping to tell you that you should have said.

Vigorously defending their elected Nazis, rebuking any member of the cult who dared criticize Dear Leader.

The Republican Party.
Do not read this as a defense of Ben Sasse, who sucks.
If Ben Sasse, Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and the rest of the allegedly sane, allegedly centrist, allegedly concerned with unity and comity Republicans actually were any of those things, they could end this madness tomorrow by pledging to vote for Biden’s mandate.

If you ever want to consider how committed our society is to the foundational lie that life must be earned, and those who fail to earn it must die, consider that the proposition “giving everyone money to spend would be bad for the economy” is widely accepted as truth.
“Giving money to people in poverty solves poverty” is an obvious truth, which needs (another) study for proof, for the same reason that this finding will be ignored (again).

We don’t want to fix poverty, even if doing so helps everyone—not if it means life for the “undeserving.”
It’s not about saving money.

There's a great fear in this country that a single dollar might go to someone who might not deserve it; or that a single given dollar might be spent on something we deem unworthy.

We'll spend five dollars to prevent the waste of that one dollar.

Ted Cruz apparently thinks the out-of-touch liberal entertainment industry identifies with .... the villains of the stories they tell?
I mean it's such a common thing with real-life right wingers to identify with the villain—from Old Man Potter to pre-epiphany Scrooge to Nathan Jessup to Gordon Gecko etc—that I guess at this point Cruz just takes it as a given that of course we're meant to identify with Thanos.
Anyway, pretty rich talk coming from a guy who has, along with his party, been actively working to use a pandemic to generate a mass kill-off of vulnerable American citizens, and blockading any effort to provide any sort of prevention, alleviation, or relief.
