Haidt's work gets trotted out a lot, but it was prior to the fascist turn of the Republican party. Now Republicans live in a mostly imagined political reality.

The Democrats didn’t spend early 2017 storming the capitol or recounting Wisconsin for the fourth time. HRC never said she’d be reinstated by August.
The Left thought it was hilarious when Trump's Secret Service moved him to the bunker when violent protesters were threatening to breach the security of the White House. I remember late night jokes, CNN/MSNBC mocking of how big a coward Trump was, etc. It was a great deal of fun and tied in with the lies about how supposedly Trump had peaceful protesters cleared out of Lafayette Park for a photo op. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/06/09/lafa...
"HRC never said she’d be reinstated by August."
Hillary Clinton spent years claiming that the election of Trump was illegitimate.
Has Stacey Abrams even conceded the Georgia gubernatorial election yet?
It's pretty rich for a party that claimed that George W. Bush was the "Commander in thief" and has Congressionally protested all the recent elections gets upset when Republicans did the exact same thing for even better reasons. The 2020 election was ridiculous. Democrats used the excuse of COVID to change election laws in multiple states while mass-mailing millions of ballots. They created an environment that was ripe for corruption and then assumed shocked faces as corruption was alleged.
Yeah because they didn’t and Trump hilariously lied about the incident. Even they weren’t saying “hang Mike Pence”
> Hillary Clinton spent years claiming that the election of Trump was illegitimate.
She did win the popular vote, while Trump won neither while claiming he did win both….

Biden won 81M votes, the most in history. Have fun with the next 4-8 years.
I already know all of your claims because I watch broadcast news programs here and there. I see the news reports on Good Morning America when we have it on. I know what the left-wing narratives are.
That's my point. It's the default.
You have to work harder to get something that isn't in that bubble.
They didn’t even spend 2019 doing it, even after the Mueller report. When they did impeach him it was on the narrowest possible scope and they got 1 bipartisan vote for removal.
And that’s before the second impeachment which had several Republican backers in the house and senate.
