One thing I've always thought that differentiated the US and other advanced nations from third-world countries is how power is attained. Here, it's attained through wealth. In lesser-developed nations, it's attained through violence. Trump's wealth couldn't keep him in power, so he tried to make us a third-world country where power could be seized by a mob of crazy violent assholes.

A Michigan man, who had reportedly been sucked into QAnon and 2020 election conspiracies, was killed by police after shooting and killing his wife over the weekend.

Though authorities have yet to identify Lanis’ wife and daughter, his other daughter, Rebecca, confirmed their names to The Detroit News. Rebecca (who was at a friend’s house when the shooting occurred) said her father had always been “prone” to mental health issues, but he’d grown “more agitated” as he fell into internet conspiracy theories involving QAnon, vaccines, and the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump.  

“[N]obody could talk him out of them,” Rebecca said, adding, “It’s really so shocking, but it really can happen to anybody. Right-wing extremism is not funny, and people need to watch their relatives, and if they have guns, they need to hide them or report them or something because this is out of control.”
