Prediction: once Trump wins in 2024, questioning elections, voter fraud, insurrections, resisting 'misinformation', etc. will become the most patriotic, ethical, and vital thing any educated American can do. Ya know, so there's no authoritarianism, fascism, blah blah blah. Gtfoh.

People who say this have very short memories. Everyone who likes to parrot this line of nonsense forgets that Dmeocrats have been through losses like by razor thin margins twice in the past 25 years and in neither of those cases did we resort to political violence and attempts at election theft. In one case, the losing candidate actually presided over the certification of his opponent; in the other Joe Biden himself presided over Trump's certification. Only one close election loser has done what your boy did. One. And it proves him unfit.

Except for the Russia hoax where they crippled the incoming president, jailed his allies and tried to destroy him. Added bonus is when democrats attacked his inauguration but charges were dropped. Double bonus when he was renominated in 2020 his supporters were subject to attacks. But besides that dems totally accepting of election results.

What you and conservative talking heads call "the Russia hoax" wasn't any kind of a hoax. It was shown pretty clearly that the Trump campaign sought assistance from Russia in various ways, responded positively to Russian offers to provide such assistance, provided their campaign internal polling data to a Russian intellegence operative. Among other things. It was also shown that Russia made various efforts to help the Trump campaign, including both a social media campaign and a hack and dump campaign that resulted in a number of indictments of Russian intellegican personnel.

What was NEVER shown is a "meeting of the minds" between Trump or his campaign and Russian officials that would have been necessary to support a chanrge of conspiracy. It's possible that such meeting did happen but that it was not uncovered by investigstors (who documented numerous uncooperative witnesses, documents they could not access etc.); also quite possible that there never was.

But the known facts were still scandalous. It is unconscionable for a presidential candidate to openly seek and receive assistance from a hostile foreign power, for obvious reasons, but it happened here. No hoax.

Democrats did not "attack his inauguration."

" But besides that dems totally accepting of election results."

It is completely reasonable for a losing candidate ewho thinks he was wrionged and can prove that in court to sue (as Trump himself did). You cannot name a single Democrat who sought, as Trump did, to seize or hold an office after losing an election.

Do you get your information from the 51 agents who lied about hunter , the Obama intelligence agents who lied to the public about trump being a Russian asset , the 8 intelligence agencies who told us Russia favored Clinton , crowdstrike who never actually showed the servers were hacked , or just a steady stream of Rachel Maddow. It was hoax all of it , accept it and move on .

Well, I know where you get your information from.

But I guess since you keep calling it all lies, you do agree, at least, that the conduct at issue here is bad. If Trump campaign did have a meeting with Russian operatives in Trump Tower because they offered to provide dirt on Hillary, that would be bad and potentially criminal? If Trump's campaign manager did give polling data to Russian intellegince, that would be bad? If Trump did publicly ask Russia to help his campaign, that would be bad?

Your prediction is based on your own insecurities and ignores facts. I agree, not wise to defense. I withdraw the comment.
