The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July.

An angry person smashing the window of a Starbucks is not a fucking threat to the Republic, dude.
People burning down cars very well could be, if some lunatic spent some time brainwashing ‘em.

Taking power from the left means coalition building here, and if someone goes fucking crazy in power that coalition disintegrates.
That’s another thing, yeah; the American Right, especially lately, is beyond cultish.
“If. Could be.”
Didn’t happen though…
…again, I never said it did. Do you have poor reading comprehension?
You keep imagining a reality that never happened and then criticizing that universe. I guess I’m puzzled as to what you’re trying to achieve but to make it sound like everyone is as bad as each other. It’s just not the case.
I’m not sure how you got that out of what I said, but cool ig
