I link this to earlier testing-the-waters/gaslighting behavior really utilized to full capacity by Trump. It goes like this:

Trump says or does something vile and despicable.
if (Not a Big Pushback) then
"Of course I'm serious"
else
"It was a joke. Don't get hysterical"

MAGA Republican traitors will continue to say and do extreme things and they're gauging how much support they can actually get. Because if Jan6 taught us anything, it's that to our -- and probably even their -- surprise, there is an illiberal, fascist movement on the right, provided cover and supported by Fox propaganda, and comprising a broad swath of sitting members of the senate and house who are willing to use their positions to legitimize lies and conspiracy theories in a broad effort to overthrow a lawful, democratic election.

We talk about the brave few who held the line and defended democracy, but what about the many who tried, and are still trying, to support a coup.

It's the legislative version of a Gish Gallop; they're trying to pass so much stuff that it isn't economical or possible to challenge everything effectively.
