Does that fig leaf cover the fake-electors scheme? Because that was also part of the failed coup d'etat.

He could say 'we're gonna slaughter the homeless a little' and y'all would insist 'he said a little!'

How's he describe that violent mob's actions? Like they betrayed him? Nope, fully supportive. Openly defends them. Decries legal consequences for their actions. Also, that day, had to be bullied into telling them to stop. Maybe because it's fucking obvious what he actually wanted.

You don't know what bad faith is. You've just seen people call it out, and think mimicking their condemnation means something.

I am describing what he's said and done about the violence you insist he super didn't want. Does it look like he actually did not want it? Does it fuck. About the only times he hasn't demanded the mob be excused entirely is when he pretends it was secretly antifa trying to make him look bad.

CPAC's scrolling banners read "we are all domestic terrorists." How fucking obvious does agreement have to be, before you stop pretending you can nuh-uh about it?

Meanwhile: they sent fake electors to defraud congress. Feel free to have any opinion of that, instead of pretending that condemning the violent side of the coup means you can ignore the even clearer effort to reject democracy.
