That's quite the approval cliff Trump walked off trying to overthrow the election.

Thankfully, the brainwashing is not entirely complete and a lot of people are seeing it for what it was.

    Here, in 'Murica, you basically have two choices. D or R. It's far less about what's wrong with Americans, than what's wrong with the two-party system.

    The cowardly runaway does what he does best.

    Running away from your support of insurrection already? Falling back on the tired "both sides" rhetoric? That worked a lot better when the two parties hadn't diverged to where we are today. Democrats as a group have been better than Republicans since at least the 80s, that is just objective fact when you toss out the rightwing propaganda and trickle down bullshit. It wasn't so clear for quite a few decades as the prosperity was ridden out and when the accessibility of information wasn't so widespread.

    Get fucked you traitor, you defended insurrection and if there was full justice you would be held accountable for your small role in radicalizing conservatives.

      Maroon. There was a demonstration, which turned into a riot, AFTER the Capitol Police abandoned their posts, allowing the rioters inside. There was no insurrection, I couldn't support something that didn't exist.

              It's good that congress and liberals have been frightened out of their wits by a little rabble. Maybe now they respect what could be thrown at them?

                Yosemite Sam was a college professor compared to Runnyway! A veritiable genius! A man of letters and a HUGE vocabulary. Runaway, by contrast, has a very small, um, well, it's small. And treasonous. You know, he took an oath! [dangerousminds.net]
