Terrorists break into US Capitol Building

[Suppressed Poet]

You realize the lengths you go to in order to avoid having to actually address what Trump and the GOP did?

All of you do it actually- it's kind of astounding. You talk in circles and change the subject because none of you wants to be in the position of having to actually defend what he did.

Our Capitol was under attack by at least two violent white nationalist extremist groups who were there to stop the certification of the election and who were searching for the Vice President of the United States of America and Congress chanting things like "Hang Mike Pence". And Trump refused to tell them to stop. He made absolutely no move to defend our Capitol, Congress, or his own VP. And when he was finally forced to make a statement hours later, he told the armed militia groups who were hunting down the VP and members of Congress and killing cops in the process that they were great people and that he loved them.

Oh, and did I mention they were only in DC because he told them to come? And that members of his campaign were in talks with these violent white nationalist extremist groups? AND that Trump pointed them to the Capitol building at exactly the time when they were certifying the election results and told them this was their last chance to take back their country and to fight like hell. And he knew for a fact that violent white nationalist extremist militia groups were in the crowd.

And you all will do *anything* to avoid having to acknowledge that and actually say "That seems like exactly what a sitting US President should be doing".

Trump is guilty of bad behavior, no doubt. There is absolutely not a shred of evidence that connects him to a coup. It was a “mostly peaceful protest”. Not even a fiery one. Don’t act like it’s only the right who has extremist groups… Those people who violently assaulted the Capitol police and stormed in should be held accountable. But please, spare me your self righteous partisan BS that the greatest threat to our democracy is the Republican party and the 74.2 million people that voted for him.

I selfishly hope something legally happens that prevents Trump from running or he loses the primary. DeSantis would dominate in the general election against anything the Dems could throw at him. He is MUCH more of a conservative than Trump ever was. Perhaps a bit more so than I personally care for, but would gladly vote for him over Biden. He is the president that “Orange Man bad” leftists like you & Seran deserve.
