    It almost did. Jan 6th was a coup attempt.
    On the campaign trail a day or two ago he literally said, “…we’ve been waging an all-out war on American democracy.”

    But go on and insist it is “both sides” to up your edgelord cred. You’re never going to find any politician that agrees with you on every issue. Unless you get off your ass and run, which we know is too much effort for you.

      Browbeating people into voting for a satanic right wing warmonger was a losing strategy in 2016 and it’s a losing strategy now. There is a massive chance now that Biden will lose as a direct result of his actions in Gaza. This is directly Biden’s fault and no amount of fearmomgering about January 6th will change it, for the record most people don’t really even care.

      If you’re concerned about losing “our democracy”, blame the DNC. That they’re content with running a senile maniac who is actively facilitating a genocide should enrage you more than people online expressing their disgust with his criminal behavior.

        Yea if democrats are so fucking concerned about democracy maybe they should, I don’t know, support one of the policies 80% of their base is loudly telling them matters to them.

        Like not having Biden be the nominee.

      a half assed and unserious coup attempt. Trump wasn’t even directly involved it was less than a riot

      The issue I disagree with Biden on is whether there should be a genocide

        He’s being charged with it because he CAN be linked directly to it. Half ass or not, it was a coup attempt. Saying it was half assed or not serious is exactly what people said about the Beer Hall Putsch. Look what happened after.

        And you can’t blame Biden for what Hamas did.

        Bitch he literally tried to choke out his driver so he could go there himself to lead the insurrection in person.

        Nevermind, the palestinians here in the states who’ll tell you that as much as Biden sucks, Trump’s issue is that we’re not doing it here too.

        Hey they had to shoot a gun exactly one time to get every single person to go home as soon as the concept of consequences metastasized in their brains.

        How are we supposed to stop them next time.

      There was no mechanism for it actually succeeding. It was an attempt the same way a child attempts to transform into a bird.
