And what of the origin of the violent attempt to overturn the 2020 election by Trump's supporters?



I'd suggest that the majority of people rejected that claim last night.


You say that but then demand we don’t call such people stupid. The actions at the Capitol were very well documented. It’s implausible that people see it for anything other than what it was. The obvious conclusion is that these people support the attempt.


I support free speech, you may call people what you like. As you say, people see it for what it was and voted that way yesterday. I do find it implausible (even radical) that the majority of people in America support a coup attempt and find it more likely that they don't believe what they see on the news any more.

Agreed. The winner of the popular vote yesterday had only 27% support of people in America, not anywhere near a majority.


Well the voters were wrong.
