  Wait, is he saying

  Yet that horrible day was the vindication, not the expiration, of our constitutional system. The system worked. The riot was put down. Congress, including Republicans, reassembled and certified Biden as the next president.

  In the courts, many Trump-appointed judges ruled against challenges to the election.

  Our system was put through a Cat 5 stress test

  So let’s reward the ones responsible!

  Seems like that’s the logic here. Tell the vice president to lie and subvert our system, Cause a riot in which someone is killed, and an estimated 1.5 million dollars of damage to the Capitol building, including literal shit smeared down the halls, people doing jailtime and a whole bunch of frivolous bullshit lawsuits - These are the actions of someone who will defend democracy and ought to be president!

  This is one of the dumbest pro-trump arguments I have ever heard.

  The panic cracks me up. We had four years of Trump. For the most part, they were really good years.

    He did send some mean tweets, if that’s not facism I don’t know what is.

      I mean, he does look like an orange, and we know that is the highest level of fascism there. The angry orange.

      I am hoping he wins but I do expect the left to riot again.

      Let’s not pretend the left are the only ones guilty of such rhetoric though. We’ve got Elon Musk out here saying that if Kamala wins, this will be the last election lol. Both sides use this rhetoric to amp up their bases. It’s not a partisan issue.
