Frontline: Lies, Politics and Democracy

The PBS investigative journalism program Frontline aired a two hour review of the events leading up to the 1/6 coup attempt and what happened in the weeks thereafter. Most of this is not new, but it is a very nice summary of what happened in reality, not in the minds of delusional people. 

This program is another blunt warning about the danger this country faces from America's radical right. It argues that (i) democracy is fragile, (ii) democracy requires good will to operate normally, and (iii) American democracy is under a severe, direct attack by the ex-president and his authoritarian  supporters, especially including the Republican Party and America's radical right propaganda Leviathan (Faux News, etc.).

Obviously, most T**** supporters and Republicans will instantly reject this narrative. They will vehemently argue that the Democrats, socialism and liberalism are the real threats to democracy, truth and civil liberties. 

Q: Is it possible to bridge the reality and reasoning gap that separates the side that sees severe threat in the Republican Party and its theocratic authoritarianism from the side that sees severe threat in the Democratic Party and its Godless socialist tyranny? (I don't think so, but that's just my opinion)
