He didn't try to overthrow the country, he didn't organize Jan 6th, his fans did, Roe V Wade was still a thing under Trump and any politician who wouldn't want to replace the entire federal workforce with people loyal to them isn't playing the game right.

The whole thing with desperately trying to pretend that the Jan 6 glorified self-guided tour of the Capitol was anything even remotely resembling a “coup attempt” has to be one of the most successful Blue MAGA gaslighting projects yet

Had the convenient effect of memory holing the Geoege Floyd protests as well. Somehow the contrast in police response has also been totally erased from the conversation. The fact they even got near the Capitol building let alone were allowed to roam freely inside shows exactly where the people legally allowed to kill stand, and somehow this is erased as an attempted and very serious coup against the democratic party. If they were allowed to storm the building without being shot, then if it's a coup against the democratic party, it only failed because their goals had already been accomplished prior to their actions

I haven't forgotten Joe whining "fund the police! Fund the police!" But apparently every democrat has.

And they didn't do anything about it. No one was dragged from their homes and shot, there were no show trials followed quickly by hangings. They imprisoned a few proles and cracked down on political rights and that's it.
