In reply to the discussion: ❤️❤️** Thread#2****Day 2 - TRUMP INSURRECTION ******🇺🇸 [View all]EndlessWire
(8,103 posts)70. Something I liked about the presentation
was how they emphasized the escalation of Trump's efforts. In other words, how he progressed from requests and lawsuits to increasing pressure on various officials to the point where he ran out of peaceful options and resorted to setting up the violent confrontation at the Capitol.
I think it was well structured, and easy to follow. This is important in order for people to be able to read it.
I don't think that Repubs sitting there are going to care about anything but Party Over Country. Well, some of them might. But, we are making points that some of his cult might consider as they contemplate their own participation in this dreadful incident. Especially when people died because of it.
