Good question…I´d say absolutely barmy.
Even now they still proclaim the orange man has won.
They seem to ignore that the storming of the Capitol is a direct attack on democracy.
As long as Trump was riding high, conservative media were often happy to excuse the violence by his followers.
“Christina Bobb, an anchor on pro-Trump cable news channel OANN, depicted the riot as presenting an opportunity for Mike Pence, the vice-president, to overturn the election.”
To overturn the results of an election is a coup.
On far-right media, there was an effort to transform a woman who was shot dead by Capitol police, into a political martyr.
Would she have been supported this much if she had been a, lets say, muslima?
And since we are at it, how ould these rightwingers have reacted if it had been the Black Lives Matter Movement?
So far they only point fingers, under the childish motto:“…but the BLM did riot too!”
Yes, after the horrible killing of George Floyd people started demonstrating. And some people took this oppurtunity to start a riot.
But…no one even came near the Capitol! The building that stands for the US democracy.
That building and all it stands for was desecrated by rightwing extremists.
The ones who think they are ´patriots´.
The ones who are first to condemn any other coutry when the outcome of elections are denied and some (wannabee-)dictator does not want to give up his power…
