We can Thank the GOP and Trump for more violence in America. My golf buddies will use Deny, Attack, Reverse Offender and Victim (DARVO) to say the Dems are the violent ones, but any sensible person knows 6 Jan 2021 proved that is a lie.

Read the article if you want to know what the survey revealed of the GOP of 2021. The GOP of 2021 is much like the Know Nothing Party of the 1800s, hating immigrants, seeking prohibition, trusting on many conspiracies, and worse. The Know Nothing party lasted a while with all their conspiracies, but not for long.
One thing the GOP likes is violence.
I get extremely frustrated when ex-military say stupid things about how Trump is a moral man, a Christian man, (yep, they think Biden is the immoral one), and they say Trump is doing great for America, but cannot prove it with real facts. Rather, they us e non-sensical fake facts and videos easily debunked,
The Nazi rune used by CPAC was not an accident, and certainly only a few knew the rune was being used to communicate to extremists. I suspect Trump knew of it, and will grant most attendees did not know of the rune, but all worshiped the Golden Idol like Trump was their God.
The self-identifying "Christians" committed idolatry at CAPC Feb 2021.
Idolatry
"Idolatry is the worship of an idol or cult image, being a physical image, such as a statue, or a person in place of God.[1][2][3] In Abrahamic religions, namely Judaism, Christianity and Islam, idolatry connotes the worship of something or someone other than God as if it were God. In these monotheistic religions, idolatry has been considered as the "worship of false gods" and is forbidden by the values such as the Ten Commandments. Other monotheistic religions may apply similar rules.[4] In many Indian religions, such as theistic and non-theistic forms of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, idols (murti) are considered as symbolism for the absolute but not The Absolute,[5] or icons of spiritual ideas,[5][6] or the embodiment of the divine.[7] It is a means to focus one's religious pursuits and worship (bhakti).[5][8][6] In the traditional religions of ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Africa, Asia, the Americas and elsewhere, the reverence of an image or statue has been a common practice, and cult images have carried different meanings and significance.[1]
The opposition to the use of any icon or image to represent ideas of reverence or worship is called aniconism.[9] The destruction of idols and images as icons of veneration is called iconoclasm,[10] and this has long been accompanied with violence between religious groups that forbid idol worship and those who have accepted icons, images and statues for veneration and / or worship.[11][12] The definition of idolatry has been a contested topic within Abrahamic religions, with many Muslims and most Protestant Christians condemning the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox practice of venerating the Virgin Mary in many churches as a form of idolatry.[13][14]"
CPAC attendees should be aware of the optics and the reality of their political party, the display, the messages. It is on each individual to defend conservatism in the right way I suspect. Done the wrong way the GOP and 2021 conservatives will go the way of the "Know Nothing" and the Whigs party.
Some Republicans have discarded Trump due to the insurrection he inspired. Yes, Trump caused an attack of the Capitol where five people died and he still says the election was a fraud, Biden stole the election / Presidency, and Trump seeks a violent overthrow of the United States Government by any means necessary. Trump is a traitor, no doubt.
Runic insignia of the Schutzstaffel
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runic_insignia_of_the_Schutzstaffel
"The runic insignia of the Schutzstaffel (known in German as the SS-Runen) were used from the 1920s to 1945 on Schutzstaffel flags, uniforms and other items as symbols of various aspects of Nazi ideology and Germanic mysticism. They also represented virtues seen as desirable in SS members, and were based on völkisch mystic Guido von List's Armanen runes, which he loosely based on the historical runic alphabets. SS runes are commonly used by neo-Nazis.[1]"
