On Jan. 6, 2021, an angry mob of Donald Trump supporters swarmed a CBC News crew working near Capitol Hill. Nearly four years later, reporter Katie Nicholson tracked down one of the people who surrounded her that day to find out what she’s thinking heading into another volatile U.S. presidential election.

Was worth the watch for the emotional contortions the supporter twists herself into when confronted by one of the people she threatened, her Democrat-voting husband dealing with it all, and that messed up Trump paraphernalia store.

Zero proof of anything and zero reason to doubt anything, yet both women they talked to know in their hearts that the election will be stolen (again in their minds).

The biggest point all those election deniers ignore is that almost the only Republican with any chance of winning who didn't win that election was Trump. Why would Democrats not steal the election from goddamn Mitch "The Turtle" McConnell? Why would they they "allow" Republicans to gain 12 seats in the house?
