It's a foreign notion to most these days, especially those who are chestily speaking in public or are rage-typing on internet message boards.
However, I think many things can be true at once:
1. We need to plug the obvious holes in our domestic voting process. Many examples we saw in this election proves just that.
2. Does that mean the election was "stolen" by voter fraud? No. Sometimes even if things are true, you have to provide the appropriate proof in the court of law. Big claims require big evidence, and even though some of the reasons evidence wasn't heard (activist judges throwing out cases before any evidence can be presented) isn't on the up-and-up, I can't presume guilty until proven innocent.
3. Despite big tech censoring anyone who brings up low-level fraud and questionable voting practices, these aren't the same as claiming an election was fraudulent. And meanwhile, claiming an election is fraudulent isn't new, the entire Democrat establishment did it for a good 2 years after the 2016 election, but I digress.
Again, multiple things can be true at once
1. Trump clearly raised the temperature using inflammatory rhetoric leading up to Jan 6th, putting a foolish aspect of pressure on Mike Pence.
2. He didn't incite violence. As we all know, Inflammatory rhetoric is common today, especially among leftists such as AOC, Nancy Pelosi, and Maxine Waters. Also remember, Hours after Obama's anti-police rhetoric in Dallas, a BLM sniper killed 5 officers. Just after Bernie Sanders called the GOP "murderers" for not supporting his gigantic health care plan, a supporter of his shot up a GOP softball game. Trump used similar inflammatory rhetoric, but none of these examples are "inciting" violence. I hold none accountable, as a consistent standard is necessary.
So often we think one of the other. Many things can be true at once.
