      He was calling for it during the campaign. Literally stood on a stage and told the Proud Boys to be ready.

      Stop trying to act like this shit wasn’t painfully obvious from the beginning. 2016, you maybe had some excuses, but after all the shit that happened in the 4 years he was in office, there is not a god damn thing anyone can use as an excuse for voting for him a second time. None.

      I mean, the writing was on the wall. Even before the election, he was saying things like: “Oh, they’re gonna rig the election against me, folks”, and his rhetoric was so toxic that at Republican debates, the moderators were asking him things like: “If you lose the election, will you abide by the peaceful transfer of power?” Which, of course, he didn’t agree to.

      I mean, yes, he hadn’t actually incited people to try to overthrow the government at that point, but he very much was on record saying that that was his intention.
