34. Why is he not considered a clear and present
Sat Jun 22, 2024, 08:38 AM
Jun 2024

danger to the U.S. He is already stating he will only accept the results of the election if he wins?

I know some people will argue that he has his rights protected too because we are a democratic republic, but if he isn't willing to accept that concept for others, then to me he should be viewed as forfeiting those rights for himself. He is advocating violence. He is putting others in danger. Why are so many willing to just accept this and not do anything to protect his would be victims? It will be too late when they're dead.

He needs to just be locked permanently. No trial! Nothing just straight to a high security prision.
