“Shared psychosis”—which is also called “folie à millions” [“madness for millions”] when occurring at the national level or “induced delusions”—refers to the infectiousness of severe symptoms that goes beyond ordinary group psychology. When a highly symptomatic individual is placed in an influential position, the person’s symptoms can spread through the population through emotional bonds, heightening existing pathologies and inducing delusions, paranoia and propensity for violence—even in previously healthy individuals. The treatment is removal of exposure.

How are these fuckwits different than the violent protesters that took over our nation's big cities this summer? And don't use the race card, that was not about social justice, that was about assholes using a cause to stir shit up. Where was the outrage then. This is all bullshit. Either people need to call it all out as criminal and demand investigations and prosecutions, or people need to stay on the sidelines. The outrage now by those silent all of 2020 is purely political.
The fact you can’t understand the difference between a group of people that have been illegally targeted by law enforcement for centuries, that they are beaten, shot and killed due to their skin color and they are fed up with the lack of accountability from white cops being held responsible .... marching for equality, freedom and civil rights.
Also it’s been talked about - rightwing angry white guy arrested for vandalism while in the BLM crowd?

So many of these violent, destructive acts came from angry white supremacists, not BLM supporters.
Contrasted with an attempted coup, when a bunch of angry white people who are convinced an election was stolen (when it wasn’t) because they have been egged on by their racist leader for years, and decided to violently overthrow the government and kill cops in the process.
Jesus Christ Jimmy .... if you honestly can’t see the difference here because you think it’s politicial?
You are the very definition of white privilege flirting with racism.
fine then, define racism for me. put it in black and white. lets set a standard so that everybody knows what is and isnt acceptable (regardless of their skin color.)
New Quinnipiac Poll Results:
TRUMP
A majority of voters, 56 percent, say they hold President Trump responsible for the storming of the U.S. Capitol, while 42 percent say they do not hold him responsible.
A slight majority, 52 - 45 percent, say President Trump should be removed from office. Voters also say 53 - 43 percent that he should resign as president.
"A majority of Americans hold President Trump responsible for the chaos at the Capitol, and a slight majority believe that he should be removed from office," added Malloy.
President Trump has a negative 33 - 60 percent job approval rating, which is a substantial drop from the negative 44 - 51 percent rating he received in December of 2020.
The president's job approval rating today ties his all-time low, which he received in August of 2017.
Voters are divided on whether they think President Trump is mentally stable. Forty-five percent say he is mentally stable, while 48 percent say he is not mentally stable. The findings are nearly identical to responses from a January 2018 poll, when 45 percent of voters said they thought Trump was mentally stable and 47 percent said he was not.
UNDERMINING DEMOCRACY
Voters say 60 - 34 percent that President Trump is undermining, not protecting, democracy. There are sharp political divides on this question. Democrats say 95 - 4 percent and independents say 64 - 28 percent that Trump is undermining democracy, while Republicans say 73 - 20 percent that Trump is protecting democracy.
Voters say 58 - 34 percent that the Republican members of Congress who tried to stop the formal certification of Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election were undermining democracy. Democrats say 90 - 9 percent and independents say 61 - 29 percent that the lawmakers were undermining democracy, and Republicans say 70 - 23 percent that they were protecting democracy.
Eight in 10 voters (80 percent) say the individuals who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6th were undermining democracy. Ten percent say they were protecting democracy and another 10 percent are unsure. Democrats say 95 - 3 percent, independents say 80 - 9 percent, and Republicans say 70 - 17 percent that they were undermining democracy.
STORMING OF THE CAPITOL
Voters are split on whether they consider what happened at the U.S. Capitol a coup attempt or not. Forty-seven percent say they consider it a coup attempt, 43 percent say they do not, and 10 percent say they are unsure. There is a near unanimous view among voters, 91 - 6 percent, that the individuals who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6th should be held accountable for their actions.
Voters also say, 81 - 12 percent, that extremism is a big problem in the United States.
"Pick them up and lock them up. There's no ambivalence on how to treat the mobs that breached the Capitol, and there is nearly the same level of alarm from Republicans and Democrats over extremism establishing a troubling foothold," added Malloy.
About 7 in 10 voters (71 percent) say that law enforcement officials did not do everything they could to prevent the initial storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, while 19 percent say they did.
Seventy percent of voters say they are either very (35 percent) or somewhat (35 percent) concerned about the safety of elected officials in the United States, while 29 percent say they are either not so concerned (13 percent) or not concerned at all (16 percent).
2020 VOTER FRAUD
More than half of voters (58 percent) say they believe there was no widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, while 37 percent of voters do believe there was widespread voter fraud. That is almost identical to the response in December 2020, when voters said 58 - 38 percent that there was no widespread voter fraud.
Republicans say 73 - 21 percent that they believe there was widespread voter fraud. Democrats say 93 - 5 percent and independents say 60 - 36 percent that they do not believe there was widespread voter fraud.
BIDEN EXPECTATIONS
Looking ahead to when Joe Biden takes office, 31 percent of voters say they think he will be able to unite the country and 56 percent say they expect partisan divisions to remain the same as they are today. Fourteen percent are unsure.

The FBI has credible evidence of a threat of violence on Sunday specifically aimed at the Minnesota and Michigan state capitols by right-wing extremists as part of their preparation for armed protests in every state and Washington, D.C., leading up to President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration.The evidence is spelled out in a report dated Dec. 29 and written by the FBI's Minneapolis division. The report was first posted Monday by Yahoo News and verified to the Star Tribune on Tuesday as legitimate by a source who has seen the document.
The report said that some followers of the violent Boogaloo movement attended protests in early December at the Minnesota State Capitol "to identify escape points and defensible positions in the event violence occurred."
Boogaloo members "scouted general law enforcement presence" at the earlier rallies, the report noted, and "identified law enforcement numbers. ... They also identified law enforcement sniper locations and considered breaking into federal buildings for use as firing locations if fighting occurred."
One movement member went so far as to say that "the building with the snipers would need to be blown up in order to protect Boogaloo fighters in the even of a gun battle during the event," the document continued. "At least one follower expressed his willingness to die for the movement."
The report emphasized that the Boogaloo movement was not plotting an attack but was planning "to use violence" should fighting occur Sunday.
The Boogaloo movement's supporters are pro-gun rights and advocate for a second civil war or the collapse of society and don't adhere to a coherent political philosophy.
The surfacing of the report comes less than a week after a pro-Donald Trump mob swarmed and ransacked the U.S. Capitol in an attempted insurrection amid baseless allegations that election fraud in November cost him the White House.
Along with extensive damage to many areas of the capitol and disruption of Congress' certification of Biden as the Electoral College victor, a U.S. Capitol police officer and three other people lost their lives during the mayhem. Another officer died by suicide days later.
On Saturday in St. Paul, about 100 Trump supporters gathered at the State Capitol, waving flags, chanting, praying and expressing support for the president's discounted election grievances. As watchful state troopers lined the steps of the Capitol facing the crowd, the protesters declared that they would stay peaceful, and they did so.
In the Michigan capital of Lansing, another Boogaloo movement adherent has suggested "using a gasoline-based device with a tripwire ... to cause a distraction while other individuals 'take' the capitol," the FBI alert read. This person views himself as being "at war with the government, particularly with politicians and federal agents, and wanted to make a statement with the actions."
In response to the leaking of the report to the news media, the FBI office in the Twin Cities released the following statement late Monday but did not comment directly about what it spells out:
"While our standard practice is to not comment on specific intelligence products, the FBI is supporting our state, local, and federal law enforcement partners with maintaining public safety in the communities we serve. Our efforts are focused on identifying, investigating, and disrupting individuals who are inciting violence and engaging in criminal activity. As we do in the normal course of business, we are gathering information to identify any potential threats and are sharing that information with our partners.
"The FBI respects the rights of individuals to peacefully exercise their First Amendment rights. Our focus is not on peaceful protesters, but on those threatening their safety and the safety of other citizens with violence and destruction of property."
The Minneapolis FBI alert was passed on to the St. Paul Police Department, the Minnesota State Patrol, and in Michigan to the Lansing Police Department and State Patrol.
A spokesman for the Minnesota Department of Public Safety declined to say whether his agency or the patrol have received the alert

Pretty Incendiary Environment today.
Brought to you by our friends at the Saint Croix County, WI Republican Party:
If you want peace, prepare for war.
The phrase, originally coined in the 4th or 5th century, embodies the concept conveyed in earlier works such as Plato's "Nomoi", and carries with it a modern day interpretation of "Peace Through Strength", a cornerstone of conservative beliefs.
Welcome to the digital battlefield. Never before has the mission of the Conservative patriot been so clear. We watched for the last four years as Democrats in concert with the Marxist left and a complicit mass media has done everything possible to overturn the 2016 election through any means necessary.
During the 2020 election cycle, while Republicans focused on playing the game, Democrats focused on changing the rules of the game and pushing every boundary. They worked diligently at sowing as much chaos as possible using every dirty trick imaginable to insure that they would not be caught by another surprise loss.
It worked.
President Trump radically changed the Republican Party in 2016, now it's up to us to follow that lead.
Patriots need to continue the fight to make sure that we put America and its citizens first, and hold all of our elected representatives accountable to their oaths to uphold the Constitution.
It's time to stand and be counted as a conservative warrior in the on-going fight to preserve our Constitutional Republic. Please join us. We need to start local by removing leftist tyrants from all local and County positions in the future April elections.

Come one SF, if you think the bulk of the bad this summer was caused by righties, I think you need to lay off the blue paint fumes for awhile. You'll absolutely be able to find articles saying the other guys did it every time there is a pot that boils over but that doesn't take away who started and caused the bulk of the problem.
Can you please explain the difference between the "white supremacists" that entered the capital building for two hours last week and the "communists" that seceded an actual portion of Seattle for the better part of a month this summer? Both seem quite treasonous to me.

I will say that anyone trying to equate BLM protests for equality vs an angry mob of traitors storming the capitol, killing cops, all because they want to overthrow the government?
Get your head examined immediately, there’s seriously something broken.

What I won’t do is give you an answer just so you can find scenarios and situations that challenge it or skirt around it. That’s exactly what you want and you know it, which is why you are being deliberately obtuse about it.
Between Trump supporters and the rightwing, I have never seen a group of people so damn proud about not knowing jack shit about anything.
