Just 45 percent of Americans say Donald Trump is 'solely' or 'mainly' responsible for the rioters who overtook the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack, versus a combined 55 percent who say the former president is only somewhat responsible or not really responsible, according to results from the latest NBC News poll.
That's a shift from the Jan. 2021 NBC poll -- taken days after the attack -- when 52 percent said Trump was either solely or mainly responsible, compared with 47 percent who disagreed." https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/first-read/fewer-americans-now-say-trump-responsible-jan-6-nbc-news-poll-finds-rcna32074

Supplementary: "All lobbying is advocacy, but not all advocacy is lobbying. The main difference between lobbying and advocacy is that lobbying indicates an opinion about specific legislative change (e.g., particular changes to specific laws). Lobbying is always allowed as a private citizen, but researchers should be cautious about using resources (e.g., paid time, grant funded travel) to lobby whilst in a professional capacity. This restriction is related to what resources are used for lobbying - thus the amount of time used is the focus of any required reporting for tax-exempt organizations." https://research2policy.org/advocacyvlobbying/ #PhenomnPolicymakingPoliticalAdvocacyLobbyingThinkTankPressureGroup

However it is the first time the president and his circle have focussed their ire on Hungarian-American financier Soros, a bogeyman for the far-right in the U.S. and Europe because of his funding for a range of liberal enterprises."

Context: (translated from German) "The statement in this poster that disabled people are of no value, only cause high costs, but do not bring any benefit, bears witness to one of the most disgusting chapters of the Nazi era. It is the systematic killing of women, men and children with mental illnesses, mental or physical disabilities, who were considered 'unworthy of life' according to the National Socialist racial and ethnic community ideology. Between 1939 and 1941, around 70,000 patients from sanatoriums and nursing homes in the six killing centers in Bernburg, Brandenburg, Grafeneck, Hademar, Hartheim and Pirna-Sonnenschein were murdered by gas. #OtheringUnhealthy
Public protests, e.g. by the Bishop of Münster, Count von Galen, then led to the end of the extermination program. The personnel from the killing centers, who were now specialized in killing people, were transferred to the Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka extermination camps in order to participate in the 'final solution to the Jewish question'.

Supplementary: "The mass murder of helpless people begins in the Grafeneck killing center and other facilities.
After the Second World War was unleashed, the Nazi regime ordered the murder of ' hereditary and mentally ill ' who had been classified as ' unworthy of life ' . Because this crime - euphemistically referred to by the Nazis as ' euthanasia ' - was organized from a villa in Berlin's Tiergartenstrasse 4, it is still referred to as ' Action T4 ' to this day . As early as autumn 1939, experts used registration forms from all German sanatoriums and nursing homes to determine which patients were considered ' unworthy of life ' according to the Nazi definition.have to apply. The number determined is around 70,000. The actual murder operation began in January 1940. The first killing center that was selected and converted for this purpose was Schloss Grafeneck in Württemberg - others soon followed. The people whose death sentences have been sealed are brought to the institution in buses and brutally murdered in gas chambers disguised as shower rooms. The bodies are cremated. The true cause of death is kept secret so as not to arouse public dislike. (al)" https://www.baden18-45.de/filter/1940-01-vernichtung-lebensunwerten-lebens-der-beginn-der-euthanasie-aktion-t4/
"The National Socialists referred to persons as 'antisocial elements', who 'refused to fit into the order of the national community' and considered them 'alien to the community'. This included beggars, homeless people, the 'work shy', prostitutes, non-conforming youths but also 'gypsies and vagabond itinerant people'. 'Antisocial' also became a general term for people from lower social strata that were considered inferior, who did not work or did not work sufficiently or lived a lifestyle deemed incompatible with the regime. Several large-scale raids were performed across the Reich, e.g. the beggar raids in September 1933 and the 'National Action against the Workshy' in April 1938. People who were considered 'antisocial' were frequently sterilised against their will, based on the explanation that they suffered from 'hereditary feeble-mindedness', as it was a general presumption that 'antisocial' characteristics were passed on among 'antisocial ethnic groups'. The Criminal Police compiled files on these individuals and labelled them as 'anti - social elements', these people could be systematically observed by the police and even taken in 'preventive custody' and interned in concentration camps. People considered 'antisocial elements' had low chances of survival in the concentration camps. They were marked with a black triangle and kept mostly isolated from the other prisoners." https://museenkoeln.de/ns-dokumentationszentrum/default.aspx?s=780#abs14956

Based on the new ideas on evolution, posited by the English naturalist Charles Darwin--who himself never meant them to leave the realm of science--Jew haters began declaring that Jews were an inferior 'race' on the evolutionary scale. Since their problem was physical or genetic, it could never be changed, despite assimilation. Included in this new form of antisemitism, was the idea that Jews were responsible for the world's troubles because of their race and genetic composition." https://www.yadvashem.org/odot_pdf/Microsoft%20Word%20-%205742.pdf #IRLHistoricalFigureCharlesDarwin #MetaphorPurityRace #MetaphorContinuumLinearScaleEvolutionary #OtheringHateAntisemitismDeicide

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=najeyO0CuXw reminds me of the same sort of argument, centring the belief that political difference (in this case between #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticParty.s and #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOP.s) is opposite but equal - cancelling each other out i.e. a #CharacterisationZeroSumGame. The point that 'politicians are all the same' also feels very #BehaviourDefeatism.ist (saying something about the lack of #PhenomnAgencyEmpowerment that is presumably, felt by those who are making the statement). The obvious question to ask is about who benefits from this position i.e. who's interests does disengaging from politics serve?
