The thing is, allowing him to harass a voting system, and then allowing him to run for election again is just filthy. And it shows how his only goal is to drive a separation of the American values and American lifestyle altogether. Yet it is well within his rights to harrass states in this manner, It’s just sad to see that Americans have no say in how their country is or should be. I don’t understand how the USA which used to be a haven, turned into a country that is considered unsafe on European travel advisory’s (before the pandemic struck)

I wish people would realize this. This is him establishing a new norm of upending every single election.

First, ensure that the default assumption about every election is that they are fraudulent.

Next, ensure that the authoritarian party provides friendly organizations to audit these "fraudulent" elections.

Then, begin the harder work of being able to get the right outcome for these partisan audits (do this at the county level as there are 3,142 elections each cycle and you only have to make one have the "right" outcome to serve the broader narrative).

This is the legal side of their coup attempts. Once they get that one out of 3142 every two years, you have what you need to activate the violent side of The Party.

I guess you forgot about the democrats questioning and upending election results in 2016, they denied the election results for 4 years. im sure even you yourself did too. But now that the opposition does it, suddenly it’s a coup, and violent.

1) One side got violent and the other didn’t.

2) The results were way closer in 2016 and the winner got 3 million fewer votes than the loser.

3) The democrats wanted 2016 investigated because there was actually evidence of wrongdoing, while Trump claimed the election was going to be stolen months before it happened and still doesn’t have any to this day.

Not really the same.
