It doesnt seem to surprise or bother Boielrman that in addition to the people who stormed the Capital on Jan 6 there was also an organized effort by multiple red states to decertify the their own democratic election results and send in electorates from the losing party. And when that failed they followed it up by passing laws in their states to make it easier to do next time.
And its all motiivated by a giant lie perpetrated by the former president that Boilerman voted for twice. And that ex-president still feeds that lie to his base, cable news, and red state governments on a daily basis.
And here's the worst part - the handful of Republican legislators who had the courage to call out the insurgency and DOnald Trump's lie are all leaving Congress. They cant get reelected in their districts on account of telling the truth. Because the overwhelming majority of Republicans want people who feed the lie.
The effort to kill our democracy was not limited to one day. It is still ongoing.
Yeah, but we know that Boiler pretends to be stupid when he wants to make a point.
I agree, PJ, that the insurrection is small potatoes compared to the ongoing efforts by elected officials to control the outcomes of elections. The Capitol riot was a gathering of 1000+ drooling, inbred, buck-toothed mouth-breathing losers. Like cockroaches. The efforts to destroy democracy are much more consequential.
I don't think enough attention is being paid to the fact that at least five states prepared a slate of "alternate" electors, just in case the coup succeeded. This suggests that the conspiracy was much, much more than Trump and a gang of murderous yahoos.
Our resident conservitards refuse to condemn the coup, the insurrection, or the conspirators--and of course, Trump gets a free pass from them, too. And they not only don't care about voter suppression--they actively support it. It's disgusting to see. Fuck them.
They're not Americans.
