    This isn't a Republicans vs Democrats thing. It's Trump vs Democracy and the law. You're making this an "Own the Libs" moment when it should be "Am I okay with this becoming the new normal?" moment.

    I asked you a very sincere set of questions. You have made it clear that you don't think Trump should be held accountable for trying to overthrow our election after all legal avenues to contest had been exhausted. Specifically you don't think he should be held accountable for breaching our election equipment and records, for sending an armed and angry mob to the Capitol to disrupt the electoral college certification, for organizing false slates of electors to submit alternate votes that could be counted instead of the legally determined ones or for calling elections officials and demanding they change vote counts.

    I'm just trying to understand the rules here, and I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt by not assuming you're creating a special carve out just for Trump. (That would be doing everything you're accusing everyone else of doing)

    So what are the other situations where these things are acceptable and should be completely legal?
    You can ask sincere questions all you want...

    BUT... when your first statement has already been proven false - and I have linked the information - highlighted the portions - and shown the similarities... you continue to ignore it.

    It's not sincere if you don't read the provided historical evidence I've already posted.

    That's what's so frustrating with you, Seran, and others of your kind... You ask for something. It's provided. You either A. Don't read it B. Read it and fully ignore it or C. Read it and say it's not the same thing - even though it is.

    Everything you're claiming he did - Democrats have also done... so as I've said... you can ignore the Democrats "politics" and "criminalize" Trumps "politics"... but it's only going to lead to ruin.

    The rules are simple - Apply the same standard to everyone, or no one. If for one side it's "just politics" and your enemies it's "it's criminal"... then that's not a fair playing field.

    The other rule is this - I'm fine playing dirty (I wish more were)... I'm fine if the Democrat Party wants to do politics this way... what I'm not fine with is when people fight back, using their own tactics... then whine like little bitches because someone got up in their face.

    You tell me which set of rules you want to play by... and I'll play by them.

    How after all these years you're in a much more discussion mode vs. blatant/blind support of the Democrat Party is nice to see... though if I had to guess - some of those things you've supported in the past are starting to affect you somehow in your daily life where you live. That's just a guess, and not really on topic - just more of an observation.
