"Let's all rub a couple of brain cells together and do a little logical thought test".

1. How many of you think ANTIFA loves Trump or hates Trump? >>>> Unanimous hate Trump answers.

2. How many of you think BLM loves Trump or hates Trump? >>>> Unanimous hates Trump

3. How many of you think Democrats love Trump or hate Trump? >>>> Unanimous hates Trump

4. How many of you think Never Trump Republicans love or hate Trump? >>>> Unanimous hates Trump

What makes you think a single one of those people would lift a finger to do the ONE thing that had a chance to keep Trump in office when they had spent the last 4 years working to kick his ass to the curb?

If any of those groups had stormed the Capitol, it would have been to fill the gallery overlooking the chamber and cheer for every vote counted for Biden!

The only people on earth who wanted to disrupt that count were Trump supporters, NO ONE ELSE wanted that vote stopped, no way, no how, for any reason!!!

I got crickets on the BLM/ANTIFA BS after that. Probably the most satisfying argument I've ever had with Trumpers because they knew they had absolutely nothing to counter that with. ***insert peaceful, satisfied grin here***
