No national Democratic politician made this claim. Four years later, Trump himself tried to pull this tactic. You're just trying to project onto Democrats the behavior of Republicans, but it doesn't work.
No storming of the Capitol occurred. That's a pretty big difference.
Trump loves Trump, and you're a sucker for thinking he's about anything else.
Trump does love Trump, and ranks pretty high on the scales for alpha male traits, sociopathy, and lets say a whole lot of other things people might think of. But it's not that simple. He loves pretty women, he loves money, he loves his ideals of America as the place where you can be all that, without apology.
He is also unusually energetic, highly intelligent, and successful in a number of respects, to the annoyance of critics and competitiors.
But the main thing is that he has chosen to be a competitor with established interests such as the American Rockefeller political dynastty most lately led by the deceased David Rockefeller. I don't know who is stepping up to carry on that vision of America. It is a vision I think is the more realistic threat to democracy. It would fit with the old commie notion of the Bourgeoise, except I know nobody with any money really believes in Marxism, however marvelously the basic notions work in political manipulations.
My frfiend, a straightforward real believer in Marxism, bemoans all the State Capitalist phony Marxists around the world including multibillionaires like Putin and Xi.
But stop trying to rewrite the facts. I saw hours of various videos of the Capitol incursion. It was a mess. Unarmed civilians walking through open doors. But also there were a few score agitators, obviously not Trump people, with some equipment and bullhorns. They started at the back of Trump's crowd trying to get people to move with them. Only a few did. Most just went home.
I get tdired of the same lies over and over again, that's why I decided to do other stuff.
Trump didn't do anything HIllary or Obama, or any of the last ten democratic Presidential candidates haven't done. Complain about vote irregularities, ask for recounts, talk about what the EC should/could do. Take some issues to the courts. No person was prevented from doing their duty as they believed they should do. No authority was denied their proper jurisdiction.
I call out our Media as partisan for a political fiction.
And I really think I should just be done with delusional people and flat-out believers in lies.
