(CNN) Today's Republican Party is building a political bomb -- and the ingredients for the explosive concoction are being mixed before our eyes. When it all blows up -- and it will, unless the party changes course soon -- the result will be not just rhetorical extremism but could well include real violence.
A chilling new poll by PRRI, the Public Religion Research Institute, found that nearly one in four Republicans (that's tens of millions of people) believe the QAnon mythology that "the government, media, and financial worlds in the US are controlled by a group of Satan-worshipping pedophiles."
You might just shake your head and laugh at this nonsense, except that that they also believe that "because things have gotten so far off track, true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country."
This is no fringe cult. The number of people believing these and other outlandish QAnon conspiracies is enormous.
There is a current of poison circulating in American society, threatening its cohesiveness and its social and political order. "If it were a religion," according to PRRI founder Robby Jones, "it would be as big as all white evangelicals Protestants, or all white mainline Protestants."
Poll after poll has also found that a majority of Republicans, 61% according to the latest from Reuters/Ipsos, believe the election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.

Yes, lets completely NOT-MENTION that the Reps did obstruct the commission (or whatever you call that) to explore the deapths of 01/06/21.
Something every news-channel here and presumably all over the world mentioned.
But not ATS. Not the teapotparty of ATS.

It's pretty amusing, you guys keep blaming the 'evil left' and yell how that's totally okay to say, free speech and all...
But if your 'opponent' has an opinion you don't agree with: oh the outrage! Bloody murder!
I know you're so surpressed, oh glorious victimhood!
And Q failed and lied but that's because *insert-mental-gymnastics
You guys are funny. Insane, but funny

Rational discussion? Ha!
Okay how does one rationally discuss 'the evil left wants to kill us all and is eating children'?

I've been saying the government is run by satanic pedo's like 12 years before Q ever said a thing.
They are getting scared!

How do you have a rational discussion with someone really believing this?

But it's the reason why no rational discussion can't take place anymore.
