“If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy.”

I mean I don't think it was ever that close to actually having trump just stay in office regardless of the results but best believe that was the intent and they would've gladly went and done it if they could have.

yes he definitely raised the temperature

I don’t think Trump was every going to be able to stay in office but what went on at the Capitol could have gotten even more ugly real quick.

Trump era so ridiculous that you have the president literally trying to overturn the election so he can stay in office and you got dudes just saying some s*** about the media coverage of said event. This was a crazy moment in history and idk what you'd expect the media to do. Not talk about it?

Ain’t you the nigga that tried meth then made a thread about your teeth rotting?

Nah he wasn't really that close to succeeding but the intent to overthrow democracy was still there

Who's quote is this?

???

David Frum

i think it was a moment i just don't get how it was a threat to democracy
in what situation would a bunch of qanon neckbeards storm the capitol and the gov't would just bow down and hand the presidency over to trump

no that was my friend and my teeth are in tact but i have to wait a lil longer then I wanted to get my dental cleaning and I don't want to have to get a cavity filled or a root canal.

There were 100+ members of the House who, based on nothing but party line rhetoric, seriously no evidence whatsoever, decided to impede fair and democratically-dictated election results. Like how is there not a threat to democracy happening in our government?

Imagine if Republicans would have had a big majority in the house and senate. The fact that it went this far is unprecedented. The election wasn’t even close.

delete this NOW buddy

Nearly 3/4ths of Republicans don’t think Joe Biden is the President

Damn OP is not intelligent

Are you also forgetting Trump purposely underfunded the usps (and they been struggling I'm aware) just to make sure mail in votes didn't get to the states offices in time

Obviously every media outlet tries to blow s*** up and stoke flames to get more emotional responses out of people, on both sides of the political spectrum.

This thread isn't a good look tho OP, respectfully. Trump is def responsible for riling up half the country, instigating distrust in our democracy, and inciting the Capitol Hill insurgency. Also, f*** him eternally for the disgusting disrespect towards Día De Los Muertos.

a mature informative response.

respect.

more like half of registered republicans

this just in republicans arnt half the country. non voters are most of the people over 18.
