The complete bad faith takes coming out now are hilarious. Trump is not a martyr and he's not an anomaly. These folks literally stormed the capital and tried to hang the vice president. They tried to kidnap and presumably kill Gretchen Whitmer. And they tried to kill Pelosi, injuring her husband with a hammer. And that's just internal, below is a great reminder that political violence is the name of the game for the US.

Who are "these folks"? If those acts of attempted violence you cite are correct, those are very specific acts by very specific groups or individuals and you should attribute them correctly. It's similar as when those on "the right" thinks everyone who even leans slightly to "the left" is basically a member of Antifa.

These folks was referring to those who believe in Trumps vision enough to fight for it. Some will do so without participating in riots, but the result will still be immense violence enacted upon citizens of the US and abroad, others will do so actively via groups like Patriot Front or by having participated in January 6th. That said, while I do think that anything that could be considered “right wing” is inherently a flawed ideology (guarantee to result in either theocracy, aristocracy, monarchy, or oligarchy), I am specifically referring to the US “right” which is more like an ethnonationalist, authoritarian center, with theocratic (Christian orthodoxy in unholy alignment with Mormonism and Catholicism) justifications for their abuses of power against minority groups.

Don't know about the other 2 cases, but the Jan 6th mob was very obviously incited by Trump; further he's stated he intends to pardon those involved. So asking who "those folks" were seems pretty disingenuous.
