MAGA lads and ladies...what would it look like for American politics if the Jan6th terrorists had succeeded in overturning the results of the election
[b]Perhaps you object to the characterization of "terrorist" and we can discuss that as well if you like, but would you have liked to set a president wherein an election could be denied by the losing party? Would you want it to be a realistic matter of course for the losing party to use force to set up their chosen candidate as President?[/b]

Well that's what i'm interested in. It's very easy to be fully in support of your man and to suspect that the election was unfair...but i wonder how many people actually want to see the losing party attempt to overturn an election.
@Pikachu I don't think even all the members of the losing party would want to see that. Only the dumbest members of the losing political party would want to see the results changed by violence, because that would destroy this country. When Donald Trump won, you didn't hear me calling for them to stop the count, or marching on the places where they counted the votes to terrorize the vote counters. I didn't like the outcome but I respected the process.
Yeah that seems to me one of the very dangerous things that Trump has introduced. Now if you lose an election you can declare that it was rigged ? That's the path to civil war.
@Pikachu I know, right? Now if Joe Biden loses the 2024 election, we can just cry and stomp our feet and storm the Capitol building with pitchforks and torches, and it's all good.
