    i don't think we will ever know with certainty who received the most votes in 2020 (or 1960. I'm more confident about 2000). there are too many legitimate questions, and it should trouble you that our election system is so insecure that bad actors, here or abroad, could influence the outcome sufficiently to sow doubt with half the electorate.

    I also believe the events of J6 have not been fully or accurately reported.

    but the underlying issue of the Trump years is how the democrats have treated him. They took a paranoid narcissist and gave him something to be genuinely paranoid about (the Russia Hoax). They've never understood, and still don't, that Trump, much like Jerry Jones, thrives on attention. Good or bad, doesn't matter. The best possible strategy would have been to simply ignore him in 2015/16. but the Clintons and Obamas couldn't do that, and made up story out of whole cloth, about him being a russian asset. it was the dumbest possible move.

    i agree with you on this.

    in fact, the news/media thrived on it. both sides.

    like the good senator's, I'm sure your request is in good faith. I don't think there's anything to be gained by elaborating further. no one's mind is going to be changed.

    I will say that within the broader canvas of the events of J6 there was a federal operation whose purpose was manipulate events in such a way that DJT, and by extension the republican party, was thoroughly discredited such that they would be in no position to challenge the results in the future.

    they were largely successful.

    I'm not talking about election conspiracy theories, I'm talking about what physically happened at the Capitol on January 6th.

    The 'find me the votes' part wasn't the most criminal thing said in the phone call. You seem largely unaware of much of the evidence regarding J6

    Every liberal needs to watch this video. Every liberal. It's a blind spot that they simply are missing. This video will educate you so that you stop getting played by the media, intel agencies, and Democratic members of government. Don't be taken for a fool any longer.




    GOOD DAY

    the difference between you and I is you're focused on results, but in a democracy, process matters.

    and the result of Biden's lawfare campaign against Trump is four more years of the latter.

    How'd that work out for you?

    Bingo. Process orientation is always the long term winner. So many liberals lack impulse control. They can't control their feelings even in short term situations in order to see how a policy or action may impact society longer term. At the micro level, many inner city liberals can't even control their impulses to avoid crimes or avoid spending all their money. Same principle. Being able to thoughtfully analyze how a policy or action will have an immediate, medium-term, and long-term effect is not something liberals are adept at. They get stuck on the immediate feels.. and many times policies that they think are beneficial to others or to society actually backfire spectacularly. Conservatives build amazing communities and families because of their long term, process-oriented approach.


    GOOD DAY
