part of why half (its probably more) of the people who voted for him support the insurrection is because he's already the president which makes it damn near impossible to treat him like just a like a joke or a fringe figure.

between the media showering him with attention, and republicans being cowards, someone who should have never left the margins got to the highest office in the land.

i mean maybe you're right and its too late but it needs to be pounded into people's heads (in this case by extraction/censoring, however you want to describe it) that this kind of shit isn't normal, because i think most people are kinda hard wired to think if its mainstream it is.

all that said, i'm pretty uncomfortable with deplatforming as a tool because i don't know where its gonna lead ultimately.
