If voters don’t believe that an attempt to overthrow the republic by the sitting president is more important than inflation, then maybe they neither want nor deserve the republic.

Yes, it does. Because none of those other things matter if you lose the Constitution.

but why didn’t any of you care, when after the 2016 election, democrats also tried to subvert the results of. free and fair election? many several
democrats asked the electors but to cast their votes for trump, and they objected to the electors in several states casting their votes for trump.
no one here cared. Why is that?
Answer - it’s ok to all of you, when democrats fight dirty. you only care when republicans do it.
When trump makes baseless claims that the 2020 election wasn’t fair, that’s bad because he’s undermining faith in the system. when stacey abrams does the same
thing, it’s not worth mentioning, because shut up.

you keep saying that. but you never specify why the equivalency is false. because you don’t even know what the expression means.
no two events are identical in every way. that doesn’t mean they aren’t comparable.
in 2016, trump won a free election. some democrats ( not biden, to his credit) tried to get the electors to not vote for trump. that’s exactly what they did, and you and spence didn’t care. which means your concern today over what trump did, is fake.
can’t have it both ways.
i think what democrats did then, and what trump did last year, we’re repugnant. i’m consistent. you guys aren’t, because you can’t criticize democrats, never. fine. prepare for the reckoning that’s coming in november.
