Regrading the Jan 6 treason; wondering if any Trump Cultists have the balls to answer this question:

If the situation were reversed, if Biden was the incumbent who had lost, declared the election stolen and exhorted his followers to overturn the results of a democratic election....how would you have reacted?

Being honest, would you have tried to ignore it as you do now?
Say it wasn't a big deal?
Argue that Biden does not bear any responsibility for it?

I want you to thoughtfully self-examine here. If liberals had tried by force to overturn an election...would you be saying the same things you are now?

I anticipate a very low number of responses from Trump supporters here....

Florida race was much closer than Gore’s staff had originally believed. Fewer than 600 votes separated the candidates, and that margin appeared to be narrowing. At about 3:00 am Gore called a stunned Bush to retract his concession.By November 10 the machine recount was complete, and Bush’s lead stood at 327 votes out of six million cast. As court challenges were issued over the legality of hand recounts in select counties, news stories were filled with the arcane vocabulary of the election judge. County officials tried to discern voter intent through a cloud of “hanging chads” (incompletely punched paper ballots) and “pregnant chads” (paper ballots that were dimpled, but not pierced, during the voting process), as well as “overvotes” (ballots that recorded multiple votes for the same office) and “undervotes” (ballots that recorded no vote for a given office). Also at issue was the so-called butterfly ballot design used in Palm Beach county, which caused confusion among some residents who had intended to vote for Gore—leading them to inadvertently cast some 3,400 votes for an ultraconservative third-party candidate,

@markansas

Yeah this doesn't seem like quite the same situation does it?

Trump: I won! i won YUGE! Stop the Steal! Fight!

Gore: Hang on...did i not actually lose? I might have won?! Concession retracted!
