No !

so if i condemn what happened in january 6th ( and i similarly condemn the BLM riots), but i like the legislative policies that trump helped usher in, what does that make me? i like trumps legislative accomplishments more than i’d like what any “classical” republican would have done. but i hate what happened in january 6th.

as to challenging our democratic process,,not sure if you responded to my post yesterday. but when bush beat gore, democrats sued. when trump beat hilary, many in the left were urging electors not to vote for trump. so where do you get off saying that no one has ever tried to undermine the will of the people?
