First as Tragedy, then as Farce

    Now explain why Trump using violence to overthrow an election is an attempted coup, but Biden doing it is protecting the constitution.

    I am all for Trump getting his shit pushed in and I wish him nothing but the worst, but don’t pretend that your double standard is somehow a righteous defense of the Constitution.

      man people really lack nuance these days huh? what a black and white world you must live in.

      tell me do you see any difference between walking up and punching a child vs. forcibly restraining someone trying to do the same? they’re both violent though!

        It’s moreso in the fact that trumps followers were also totally convinced that the child was about to be punched. Everyone likes to think their view of the world is objective and everyone who acts against it does so fully knowing what they’re doing.

        That aside if any of these politicians actually cared they would’ve attempted to fix your election system long ago, so of course he’s doing nothing.

          everyone being convinced of their subjective experience doesn’t mean there’s not an objective truth.

      Uhh. Biden hasn’t never had the intention to ruin the constitution. Trump is quoted as saying or putting it in digital writing calls of terminating the constitution of truth social and being a dictator. If you can’t trust someone’s word as evidence to do something idk what the point of ever listening to anyone about anything.

      Bidens job is to protect the constitution. Anything he did to Trump could be justified.

        So basically you’re saying Biden can have a little Coup, as a treat, and your double standard doesn’t bother you at all. Gotcha.
