It might be comforting to think that American democracy has made it past the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. But our research shows that a wide range of the American people, of all political stripes, seek leaders who are fundamentally anti-democratic.
It’s true that many who participated in the insurrection are facing consequences, including prison time. Many candidates for state office who falsely claimed that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election lost their races. And the congressional committee investigating the insurrection voted to refer Trump to the Department of Justice for criminal charges.
But more than 100 members of Congress who objected to the results of a free and fair election won their reelection campaigns. And at least seven people who attended the “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6 have been elected to state legislatures and two have been elected to Congress.

It took 3 degenerates to come up with this trash? Either that or it’s Biden’s campaign strategy for the U.S.

Far as anyone needs to read. But it is in fact a little disconcerting that professors could actually be that stupid.

Still no mention of dropping conservatives out of helicopters or torturing them. If I’m going to risk my life in a civil war I need more to go on than that.

IOW you still don't have any evidence supporting your claim. Let me know when you do. Until then have a happy new year.

Refresh my memory.
Is it the DNC or the FBI that’s paying you?

Sorry, don’t have a ton of time to educate you. Do some homework on how the J6 prisoners have been treated. Really dig in. You’ll find it eye-opening.
