Rare earthquake rattles Maine

Trump supporters who are angry and disillusioned in the wake of President Joe Biden's inauguration last week are being targeted by far-right groups who are using internet memes to recruit new followers.

The Los Angeles Times reports that groups including the Proud Boys, the Boogaloo Bois, the Three Percenters are flooding the internet with memes aimed at pulling Trump supporters in even more extreme directions.

On CNN Wednesday, former George W. Bush Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said that he "worries" about the future of the GOP — and even whether someone like himself would be capable of winning an election in it.

"I do want to ask you one final thing," said anchor John Berman. "The Oregon Republican Party passed a resolution calling the invasion of the U.S. capitol a false flag, saying it was fake somehow to make Donald Trump look bad. And that's a state party passing that resolution. I've heard you talk about this before. You were elected, finally, for a second, just before you ended up joining the Bush administration, statewide in Texas. Do you think that you could be elected right now as a Republican or win a Republican primary right now in the state of Texas?"

Violent secessionists and far-right extremist militia members are finding fertile ground for new recruits among QAnon followers who are sorely disappointed and disillusioned that now-President Joe Biden wasn't arrested on Inauguration Day leaving Donald Trump still in power and not spending his days golfing at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

As the BBC reported, "For weeks, QAnon followers had been promoting 20 January as a day of reckoning, when prominent Democrats and other elite 'Satanic pedophiles' would be arrested and executed on the orders of President Trump." But when that didn't happen, many true believers in the conspiracy rumors took to their message boards to bemoan the news and express disgust with "Q," who they believe led them astray.
