What undermines trust and leads to the show like the Jan 6 insurrection (don't kid yourself, it was a violent assault on the seat of our government) is when the president sews doubts in the legitimacy of our election system to maintain power, encourages an angry mob to congregate on the Mall and foists this mob on lawmakers.
For your statement to be true, a president is not permitted to question the legitimacy of our election system.
For your statement to be true, a president is not permitted to encourage people to assemble and attempt to petition the Government to redress their grievances.
Hate the Constitution much?
As far as violence is concerned, I agree that it is abhorrent. But almost nothing violent happened until the mall cops started shooting rubber bullets at and gassing protestors. The videos from that day have been released. I encourage you would watch them. Yes, I'm talking about the videos that the January 6 Committee refused to let the public see.
And remember that January 6 occurred after a summer and fall of violence preceding the election. I guess its OK for lawmakers to encourage angry mobs to congregate in communities and the foist those mobs on unarmed small businesses and individuals. But I guess it is not OK for the same lawmakers to get a taste of their own medicine.
If January 6 was a planned insurrection, it was the dumbest one ever conceived. Where were the weapons? The only people who died were unarmed protestors. So much of January 6 has been hyperbolized and lied about. The cop that shot Ashli Babbit lied under oath. So did other members of the police who tried to defend his actions. Does that sew doubts in the legitimacy of our systems?
Why are you not up in arms about the three-year Russia collusion hoax? Was that interference with the peaceful transfer of power?
You are a one tune fraud. Felch on.
