In what alternate reality do you not find the actual sacking of our Capital and execution of a plan to maintain power, by every definition a coup, not serious?
Are you disappointed that Pence and other genuine conservatives stood their ground despite the very proximate threat?
Hitler, Putin, and recently Viktor Orbán won their popular elections then just decided to stay in office. That is exactly what Trump intended to do.
Add gore in 2000, Hillary’s delayed concession in 2016, and the summer ‘20 race riots to this discussion and maybe there’s enough context to have a rational discussion here. Otherwise your bias is showing. You can have the last word I’m done posting in this thread.
Attempting get back on topic: In the big picture it seems the normal ebb and flow of market forces is getting verbally amped up and ‘over-leveraged’ by non economic political and social forces so much to the point that it’s hard to discern what’s actually true anymore.
