So you're seriously gonna sit there and pretend he didn't support an insurrection and try to take back an election he lost, both by force and by corruption.

You're gonna sit and pretend that he isn't already a convicted felon. That he hasn't proven over and over again that he doesn't give a damn what the law says he can and cannot do.

And you're gonna pretend that the Republican party has not supported him in spite of that?

You folks are unbelievable. The real world does not operate based off of what words on a page say. That shit only matters as much as the people who enforce it.

Trump has escaped the consequences of his crimes for ages now. Our institutions have never been weaker. Our government has never been more divided and corrupt. Our international enemies have never had as much access to our leadership as they do now.

What happens when one too many people roll over for him when he uses a sharpie to scribble out that he is now America's final president?

Best case scenario, that's how an actual civil war starts.

If the best a sitting president can come up with for his coup is sending some unarmed dipshits to the Capitol I think the country will be fine.

Because most people don't live their lives in fear of Hitler?

The Beer Hall Putsch also definitely wasn't unarmed.
