Donald Trump is gone but his big lie is a rallying call for rightwing extremists
The myth of the ‘stolen election’ – simple and endlessly repeated – is likely to be a rallying call for far-right terrorists

Last year Chris Wray, the FBI director who Biden intends to keep in post, told Congress that “racially and ethnically motivated violent extremists” were the main source of ideological killings, overshadowing international jihadism that has dominated US intelligence thinking for 20 years.
Yet the way the FBI dishes out its resources is the exact opposite. Some 80% of its counter-terrorism budget goes on fighting international terrorism, and only 20% on domestic.
It was unlikely that a trump administration would turn on its own followers but it looks like some action may be taken against the crazies.
