It says they aren't stupid. Trump lost his shit and whipped his most rabid supporters into a riot that he lobbed at Congress out of spite at Mike Pence for not being willing to do a pointless, fruitless, and politically-suicidal gesture (that wouldn't have mattered even if there was this all-encompassing conspiracy against him). Either there was no fraud, or Trump is so laughably bad at preparing for it and exposing it that he makes the Keystone Kops look like INTERPOL.Give it time. Still, it says something when these guys are waving the white flag.
Now, Trump's finally made enough of a scene that he probably will face consequences for his behavior in office, because not doing so tells every politician "it's kosher to have your base riot if you lose an election and break shit in an attempt to strong-arm the government." In the current environment, continuing to beat the stolen election drum and agitate for "action" is a great way to invite the FBI into your life, and if that happens Alex Jones doesn't get to shill his water filters, bukkits, and vitamin gummies anymore. So, he clamps down, and tells Paul to clamp down.
