a) Not everyone, including myself see the 2000 event as a riot or planned government takeover. I think that is a narrative created by the liberals.

See...liberals don't generally make stuff up to excuse "their side". The video footage, including much of it being live-streamed by the participants, is irrefutable. Over 1000 convictions obtained with jury trials (do you think the "liberals" packed the jury, and that defense counsel didn't have the opportunity to approve jurors??).

I also want to point out that someone is not stupid or uninformed if they don't see world events the same way that you do. They are just different.

That is a false dichotomy. And they kind of are, actually. World events are facts. Facts are facts. We can differ about how to deal with those facts (e.g. approaches to address the fact of illegal immigration). MAGA tends to deny the facts entirely, which -IMHO- is either stupid or uninformed (or misinformed, given the sources MAGA consumes). I try to give a little benefit of the doubt and assume they simply are misinformed. That can happen to anyone.

I note an inconsistency in your statement. You say the USA is better off with the Felon, but you also say you voted for Obama and view Clinton favorably. You think the Felon is closer to Obama or Clinton than Harris is/was? That's a disconnect. The Felon is diametrically opposed to pretty much everything they did or stood for.
