The Jan. 6th insurrection wasn't based on a 'lie'.  The leader and his followers genuinely thought the election was a fraud.  Just like the Insurrectionists in the Revolutionary War thought England was treating its colony badly.

Just the simple fact that Mr. Trump DIDN'T go with the crowd to the capitol & went home should have shown his followers that he was a Fraud.   It didn't to most of them I guess.

For Trump, he was attempting a coup and he knew it was a long shot but he tried anyway. He had hoped that millions across America would take to the streets but it didn't happen.
