TrumpQ Is the “accelerant”. The MAGA Mob is the tinder. The result on January 6 2021 was America’s Peaceful Transition of Power going up in flames. There is little doubt that TrumpQ incited the MAGA mob that organized the assault on the Capitol to STOP THE STEAL by WE THE normal PEOPLE and our normal representatives in Congress who were all assembled that day to certify my vote and 80 million other American voters like me.
Last I heard the American "Civil" war was not nearly that long ago and it is rumored that violence was involved.
I wrote
"In other words a fascist rejection of our 240 years of democratic peaceful transition of power......”
And I am reminded that we had a Civil War. Why? What is that point? Who knows?
So this was the first of many indecent and stupid arguments from one of TrumpQ’s “MAGA by Mob Rule” sympathizers in denial that the anti/democratic assault on our Capitol has anything to do with TrumpQ’s lies about election fraud and his unprecedented effort to disenfranchise the voters in states that voted for Biden and certified the results according to each state’s Constitution.
So to help expand
9thIDdoc ‘s knowledge beyond knowing that the Civil War involved violence I can offer this:
War broke out in April 1861 when secessionist forces attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina, just over a month after Abraham Lincoln had been inaugurated as the President of the United States.”
There was indeed a peaceful transition of power in 1861 first:
But did secession prevent a “smooth transition of power” from one U.S. president to another? The losing parties did not contest the election. Neither did the losing candidates. Southern Democrat John Breckinridge remained vice president of the United States until Abraham Lincoln took the oath of office on March 4, 1861, then resumed his seat – in the same chamber – as U.S. Senator from Kentucky, where he remained until August 1861. Northern Democrat Stephen Douglas – Lincoln’s political nemesis – pledged his loyalty to the Lincoln administration in the face of the growing sectional crisis.
No one tried to prevent Lincoln from assuming the presidency after the 1860 election. The Southern states, however, denied Lincoln the opportunity to exercise his presidential power over them. Their action confronted Lincoln with a challenge: would he be content to become president of part of the Union? Lincoln responded to this challenge in his March 4, 1861:
Has there always been a “smooth transfer of power” following presidential elections? As Americans, we take for granted a relatively smooth election …

So is
9thIDdoc proposing TrumpQ succeed in convincing the state of Georgia to secede from the Union because he can’t accept the black vote for Biden in the Atlanta and Savannah Areas.
If TrumpQ could not get Georgia’s Governor and Secretary of State to “find” 12,000 votes for him l very much doubt TrumpQ will get the State to secede from the Union once again and name him the President of the Confederacy and start a civil war.
Georgia was doing what all fifty states were doing on January 6 2021, namely certifying that the great State of Georgia has chosen Joe Biden to be inaugurated as President on January 20, 2021.
TrumpQ, quite pissed he could not get elected Republicans in Georgia to commit election fraud for him, told his MAGA mob to march to the Capitol snd to FIGHT to force Pence to commit fraud as the last ditch effort to save America from democracy where black people in big cities get to vote same as whites.
