"The continuing effort to throw sand in the eyes of history -- to gaslight the American people about what happened that day -- is a thundering alarm about the future of America's democracy," wrote Frida Ghitis. "When a country has just lived through a coup attempt, it should urgently, honestly, examine what occurred ... Trump and many of his backers maliciously insist the election was stolen. If they have their way, the next coup attempt may not fail."

This statement rings true of the Trump Zealots on here.

Fareed Zakaria observed that "the modern Republican Party has its roots in rebellion -- rebellion against the main currents of change in modern American society: the growth of the welfare state, the secularization of life and the increasing diversity of American society." Most Americans "don't agree with that protest," but GOP leaders are left "riding the back of a tiger and they can't get off" since leaders like Trump "whip up their followers into a froth of hysteria." The result, in Zakaria's view: the party becomes "a band of ideological warriors with apocalyptic vision that fears the ends of days, sees opponents as devils and traitors and believes that all methods are sanctioned in its battle to save civilization and itself."

No coup, Fareed Zakaria is a political hack who works for fake news company. Outsider just another brainwashed far-left wingnut.

Whether he is what you say he is or not does not change the fact that he is correct.  You may need to open your eyes and expand your horizons a little.
