Republican loyalty to Trump and Capitol rioters on the rise

A recent poll shows that Republican loyalty to Donald Trump and sympathy towards the Capitol rioters has increased in the three years since the attack. This disturbing trend indicates that a significant portion of Americans, including Republicans, are downplaying the severity of the storming of the Capitol and absolving Trump of responsibility for the attack. This poses a threat to democracy as it perpetuates a revisionist history that undermines the gravity of the events that took place. It also highlights the deep divisions in the country and the need to confront this issue as we move forward.
