CHRIS HAYES (HOST): And keep in mind, there are dozens of people auditioning right now to be the next and most extreme House Republican. I mean, things don't stop, right? 

Media Matters for America has found nearly 50 2022 congressional candidates who have embraced the insane, far-right conspiracy theory QAnon. If you think this freshman class of Republicans is bad, oh, man, just wait. Yes, not all these candidates are going to win, but some probably will, or some other person with these fringe, extreme beliefs will, this animus towards the legitimacy of democratic governance. Next year is likely, we don't know the future, as we have learned from the pandemic, but it's likely to be quite favorable to Republicans.
