Call it as you will, but I believe those who voted for Bernie Sanders in the primaries, would think otherwise. I am sure I am not the only one who remembers this:

In any event, if one has cheated, to convince others that they are not cheating now, it is not enough to say, "No, I am not," or to say, "Show me the evidence.". If one has cheated before, they really need to go out of their way to show, to demonstrate that they are not cheating.

But.....I suppose when one is holding all the cards, it is not necessary to have people believe in one, to trust one.

I get that everyone hates Trump, but just hold it in for a few more days until he leaves office...
He didn't say corruption should be matched with strength....he said this....

" Because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong."

Also....

"We will never give up. We will never concede. It doesn't happen. You don't concede when there's theft involved," Trump said. "Our country has had enough. We're not going to take it anymore."

And then you got Rudy Giuliani calling for "Trial by Combat".

If I or anyone genuinely believed the election was stolen, of course people would fight back. There would need to be a revolution. It's no wonder mobs stormed the Capitol....and because they truly believed Trump's words, in a way....it's hard to blame them for what they did. Trump is the one who ultimately holds responsiblity.

See, this is why the right-wing has so little credibility:

For years they say: Don't listen to his words, just watch his action.

Now:

They say: Don't watch his action, just listen to his words; and we should give him all the benefit of the doubt for the belligerent part of his speech.

“They’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop. This is a movement. Everyone beware! They’re not gonna let up and they should not let up.”

President Trump?

Nope.

Kamala Harris earlier this year regarding BLM. Those “peaceful protests” caused $2B in damage.

Please spare us your hypocritical outrage.

I don't expect much from the poster who openly said facts has no bearing on his belief.

But the right-wing consistently surprises me.

Agreed. But the cowards won't do it. They needed to invoke the 25th a long time ago. That is the least that should happen to him. He needs to be arrested and prosecuted for sedition.

Now you have Trump supporters illegally on Capitol grounds and there's no tear gas.

Tells me all I need to know. You know if it was BLM or Antifa the cops would be cracking heads. But it's the MAGA crowd so they get the kid gloves treatment.

Most liberal mayors/liberal judges order the police to not use tear gas on so-called peaceful protesters. In fact some mayor order the police to stand down while those peaceful protester looted and burned their cities to the ground and killed about 30 citizens.

BLM protestors didn't commit an insurrection against the government. Bit of a difference. Kamala also didn't say she loved them and call them patriots either.

Let it go. It's impossible to communicate with people who chose to keep their eyes, ears, and brains buried in mud.

Better to use this attempted insurrection to inspire reasonable people to vote against the defenders of Trump, Cruz, Hawley, the rioters, etc.
