.MaddowBlog: There's a segment of the population that doesn't realize the lies are absurd. For these Americans, the propaganda is both credible and a possible call to arms. What's more, there's no reason to think conditions will improve.
These fears have not dissipated. NBC NewsFalse claims of fraud in the 2020 election are fueling calls for violence on social media, the Department of Homeland Security is warning local police departments.... DHS issued a so-called awareness bulletin last week and discussed the security climate at a meeting with intelligence officers from major police agencies, including departments in New York, Washington and Las Vegas, DHS officials told NBC News.
The Homeland Security spokesperson said that officials do not have"specific or credible reporting indicating that violent extremists are planning to target specific events." That said, department officials"are currently in a heightened terrorism-related threat environment, and DHS is aware of previous instances of violence associated with the dissemination of disinformation, false narratives and conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.
For many political observers, I suspect the former president's ongoing deceptions are more likely to generate eye-rolling than genuine concerns about public safety. On a regular basis, the Republican and his most ridiculous allies peddle obvious garbage, in part to make Trump feel better about his defeat, and in part because the lies help fuel his fundraising operation.
What's more, there's no reason to think conditions will improve. Not only has the former president and his allies stoked the firesthat can only be described as madness, but we're likely to soon hear from Arizona Republican state senators and their Cyber Ninja partners.
