Even after Jan. 6 siege at U.S. Capitol, former Pres Trump is complaining about GOP not standing up enough.

He said, "You would have had riots going all over the place if that happened to a Democrat. We don't have the same support at certain levels of the Republican system."

We lost by a more narrow margin, and won the popular vote, but our candidate lost. We were shocked, and mad, and we made claims of election fraud (in certain circles). Guess what we didn't do? We did not incite a mob to storm the Capitol and try to overturn election results with frivolous suits where we presented no facts.

We had massive, peaceful rallies, but then we got to the business of resisting the transition of the US from democracy to fascism.

Trump is so psychologically damaged that he cannot see the world except through his own immediate experience. He is a corrupt piece of trash, so he thinks everyone else is. He is constantly thinking about how to con people, so he thinks everyone else is constantly looking to con people too. He projects his own sick twisted views onto others.
