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?
Whoa. Let’s take a step back. Is it really either A or B?
You could on the side of the morons, those incapable of any level of critical thinking, like the author of the meme here.
The United States seems set on propelling itself backwards.
Maybe, as they say, “Hell has a special place reserved in it” for people like Thom Tillis, Republican Senator from North Carolina, who enabled Trump to rape and destroy the United States.
That was until it became clear to Tillis that he could jump ship, write a scathing book about the president, get all over mainstream news promoting it, and go on to enjoy another chapter of political success.
That we Americans are so stupid that we accept this blatant hypocrisy and criminality is sad proof that we’re not the people we were 20 years ago. Maybe what many people are saying are correct: we deserved what we got.
