This is the most useful and hopeful article I've read this year. The author, al-Gharbi, is a social scientist and shows from research that most Americans who spread election disinformation and even advocate for civil war are doing so "rhetorically." In other words, they really don't believe the election was stolen. They just know that saying so "owns the libs" and shows strong support for their identity group. "Cheerleading", in the author's words. In nearly all cases they actually oppose violence and want the laws against political violence to be enforced. Similar conclusions probably apply to Covid misinformation. 

This explains why, of seventy million Trump voters, only a few thousand crazies stormed the Capitol (and some significant proportion of those could be seen in full TV Technicolor by anyone with eyes to see to be fully insane, or at least intellectually chaotic, not playing with a full deck). Those who did were the real MAGA "losers" and as I said at the time, many would finish up in jail. They didn't understand that most of their support, including that from the orange guy himself, was "rhetorical" too. (Oops.) This finding corresponds with the Yale "Cultural Cognition" studies that explain why people don't believe scientific facts about guns, climate change, abortion, and so on. It's not the facts that they oppose. It's where the facts lead. And so they deny the facts, which are facts and cannot consistently be denied by anyone who claims to be a rational individual. 

So no civil war. Just a lot of very silly "cheerleading." A total waste of time when you consider our real problems.
