Illustration by The New York Times; photographs by inhauscreative/Getty Images By New York Times Opinion There are two stories about Jan. 6, 2021. One is based on the facts and events that the world saw at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. The other is a sprawling work of collaborative fiction by supporters of former President Donald Trump who refuse to admit what happened. Despite the arrest ofnearly 600 people allegedly involved in the attack, apoll taken earlier this year found that 73 percent of Republican respondents placed at least some blame on âleft-wing protesters trying to make Trump look bad.â That kind of collective mythmaking would not be possible to sustain without powerful public figures insisting that up is down and convincing others of the same.
