If I'm a republican looking to see if Donald still has a stranglehold of the base, the fact they aren't taking to the street in his defense pretty much tells me the support is much softer than Donald thinks it is.
I'd ratchet up the attacks on him. Blood in the water.

Daniel reads the words "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN" and interprets them for the king: "MENE, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; TEKEL, you have been weighed ... and found wanting;" and "UPHARSIN", your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.

And out of 10s of millions who voted for tfg, only about a thousand or so attacked the Capitol on 1/6.

(2,841 posts)Just under a thousand charged and they are still looking for nearly the same number, so 2-3 thousand as a cohort didn't actually go inside the Capitol Building.

There was a protest at Michigan's capital that day but out of several hundred thousand tfg voters who live within a couple hour drive of Lansing, only a few hundred showed up.
