A few facts:
• Trump lost the 2020 election.
• Though there was no evidence of significant voter fraud, the former president continues to claim the election was rigged.
• He urged his supporters to storm the Capitol on January 6th to disrupt the confirmation of the election results.
• He watched the insurrection on television for more than three hours before heeding the advice of his people and calling off the mayhem.
• More than 800 of the insurrectionists have been tried and sentenced.
• Trump says he’ll pardon these people if he’s re-elected in 2024.
• Here, he’s saying that violence post the 2024 election is an option “depending on the fairness of the election.”
• Trump got 71 million votes in 2020. If only 0.1% of them are armed and prepared to take to the streets in the event that Trump loses, that’s 71,000 morons with assault rifles, ready to do whatever Trump asks of them.
Given this, is there anyone who thinks there’s the slightest chance that this country will avoid widespread violence if Trump loses the election?
Some people may be, but, to a person, the foreigners I’ve met are deeply saddened, and terrified of the consequences of the Trump regime.
Their feeling is simply that America re-elected a convicted felon, rapist, and traitor who attempted to overthrow the U.S. federal government. If we’re willing to do that, we’re capable of anything, regardless of how depraved.
I’ve never understood why those who compose total bullshit like this don’t go for the gusto. Why 95% and not 99% or 100%?
Trump’s actual approval rating among Republicans is somewhere between 75% and 80%, as can be easily verified by anyone on Earth with a cell phone or computer. That number continues to dwindle, as he faces more pressure regarding the war, gas prices, child rape, etc.
Obviously, the president’s supporters are suckers for his lies, but isn’t this a bit over the top?
I get a call every week or so from someone working for a start-up in oil exploration, hoping that I’ll invest. I guess my name and cell number got collected somehow from various online searches I’ve made.
I’m always quick to explain, “Oh, sorry, I don’t support wrecking the planet, even if I can profit from it. Neither should you. Bye now.”
