ME: It very much was a threat to our democracy
Dope: No it wasn't. If you think that then you don't understand the inertia behind our system.
Read albaby's post. left wingers never understand the "Now what?" question.

I addressed your "now what" with were off to the USSC.

Albaby and I were talking two different things. Albaby is saying was there a chance Jan 6 would succeed? The answer to that is no. What I am talking about is a threat to our Democracy, not chance of success. It fits the definition of an attempted self coup.

And 1pg pointed out the people in government pulling levers, but there were many players to this. Powell and Giulian are only a couple of non-governmental people - what about Ginni Thomas? There were a lot of players in and out of government working on this and in different ways. That's a threat. But that so many people would follow Trump down that rabbit hole of a fraudulent election, a major chunk of the Republican party, that's a threat.

Polls show that 69% of Republican voters believe that Biden is an illegitimate President. Is that at least 50-55 million people? It's still here, hasn't gone away. I don't think convicting Trump will lower those numbers.

The fact that Trump is going to be the Republican nominee is a threat now. Look at your Project 2025.

Now I don't think Trump will get elected.it's very important that we defeat him in the election. But he'll cry fraud again and some 50-60 million people will believe him. These are abnormal times and we have to take Trump out.
