Here’s a sample of how actual Trump supporters react to the ongoing attempted coup against Trump.

‘For the first time in history, we are NOT experiencing a peaceful transition of power. The left’s incessant attacks on our President is treasonous. We stand with Trump!’

From the comments:

‘I suspect that this is because this has been the only true transition of power in a very, very long time.’

The only president in American history that someone wasn’t trying to remove from office was George Washington in his first term. By his second term, even Washington was being viciously attacked (e.g.Thomas Jefferson wrote editorials claiming Washington was senile).
Four presidents were not so peacefully removed from office by bullets in their bodies and another 14 presidents survived assassination attempts. That’s 40% of our presidents that somebody tried to kill or did kill. It goes with the territory but thanks for the advice on how you want people to post.
Once again, when I spoke of a “peaceful transition of power” I was referring to what happened on Inauguration Day. https://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/2000/winter/inaugurations
After Inauguration Day, you are correct that President Trump has been under constant, unrelenting attack to remove him from office before the constitutional end of his term.
