The right’s use of conspiracy theories, misinformation, and lies is part of their campaign against the political process and the peaceful transfer of power.Baloney. The Democrats haven't accepted the results of an election they lost in years. Al Gore delayed the process by weeks in 2000 and it took the Supreme Court to get the process to move forward. Stacy Abrams has never admitted she lost her election. Hillary Clinton was asking electors to ignore the election and cast their votes for her. For all four years of his administration the Democrats declared Trump an illegitimate President. Yes J6 was somewhat a different scenario with a different kind of request but the purpose was NEVER to overthrow the government. It was NOT an insurrection. It was a protest to delay certification of the election until investigations into fraud could be completed.
Trump did not succeed in that and I do not think he should have as the Democrats would then have done the same in every future election that they lost. It would have set a terrible precedent.
But his motives were not at all sinister and given the irregularities that existed not all that unreasonable.
The ‘deep state’ is part of Republicans’ dishonesty, Republicans’ contempt for democracy, and Republicans’ fear of the will of the people.
