Subject: Re: Rage baiting
This kind of rage baiting can be seen on both sides of the political spectrum but the MAGA crowd seems to wallow in rage, spite and hatred.

I think it is at least in part due to the sources the MAGA crowd rely on and/or prefer. Their media outlets specialize in distortions designed to provoke rage. Jan 6 is a great example. After months of false reporting about the election results (note that FOX did call it correctly initially, but then backpedaled because their ratings were threatened), coupled with a psychopath/sociopath egging the crowd on, Jan 6 was almost inevitable.
