The lying democrats who stole the 2020 election and unjustly impeached Trump twice on trumped-up charges without allowing him or his defense any due process defense are now creating a new lying leftist show in Congress attempting to paint peace-loving patriotic Americans as evil insurrectionists. Out national government has become a laughing stock to the whole world.

Nobody 'stole' the 2020 election. America is a laughing stock in certain respects at the moment but the irony would probably be lost on you as to why that is.

The ignorant and deluded still refuse to consider the possibility of voter fraud in spite of all the evidence to the contrary and in spite of known facts to the contrary.

Supply the quantifiable evidence and apparent "known facts" then. The floor is yours!

The devil and his demonic gangsters only think they will win in the end. They are seriously deceived. Just because crooks get away with their crimes today does not mean they will never be held accountable for their sins.
I love the way all of your rants against Democrats actually apply to you in spades.

I have thousands of pieces of evidence of voter fraud spanning several decades, so I know rubes who claim democrats do not commit voter fraud, even where it is almost impossible for them to get caught, is a lie.

Morton's minions failed to uncover much fraud in most states, but they hit pay dirt in Texas and Illinois.
In Texas, Kennedy's 46,000-vote margin was the closest statewide race there since 1948, when Kennedy's running mate, Lyndon B. Johnson, won a Senate seat by 87 votes (the origin of the nickname "Landslide Lyndon"). Morton's operatives, aided by local Republicans, uncovered plenty of political chicanery. For instance: In Fannin County, which had 4,895 registered voters, 6,138 votes were cast, three-quarters of them for Kennedy. In one precinct of Angelia County, 86 people voted and the final tally was 147 for Kennedy, 24 for Nixon.
On and on it went. The Republicans demanded a recount, claiming that it would give them 100,000 votes and victory. John Connally, the state Democratic chairman, said the Republicans were just "haggling for headlines" and predicted that a recount would give Kennedy another 50,000 votes.
But there was no recount. The Texas Election Board, composed entirely of Democrats, had already certified Kennedy as the winner.

Again, nobody is arguing that there has never been any event of fraud where it comes to elections. That applies to all sides. The ridiculous conspiracy rubbish regarding widespread voter fraud that "robbed" Trump of a second term in office?

Nah.

The fact that so many crooks were caught committing fraud is proof that crooks do commit fraud. Assuming the only fraud ever committed was fraud that was uncovered is foolish. Democrats have fought against voter securities for years, falsely claiming voting securities unfairly suppress the legitimate black vote, which is a lie. The fact that democrats disbanded voter security measures in 2020 under the guise of the health crisis gives rise to the suspicion that widespread voter fraud was committed because there were insufficient securities against fraud. The lack of voting securities coupled with the fact of hundreds of thousands of Biden ballots dumped in precincts late at night after polls closed with no poll watchers monitoring gives rise to suspicions of fraud. The fact that hundreds of thousands of Biden ballots were not accompanied by the required chain of custody documents further gives rise to suspicion of fraud. The fact democrats refuse to cooperate with investigators seeking to verify the legitimacy of those questionable ballots almost proves democrats are trying to hide fraud.

Don't insist democrats did not commit fraud if you oppose deep-dive investigations by unbiased investigators seeking to verify the legitimacy of hundreds of ballots that as yet have never been verified as legitimate.

In his capacity as political cult leader, Trump exemplifies what psychologists describe as "the dark triad" of human behavior: Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. His followers idolize and worship him, and all too often seek to imitate his antisocial and pathological behavior.

Gartner, for example, described the dynamic by saying that the "most important" trait shared by Trump and his supporters, as well as "the least recognized," is sadism:

On Jan. 6, during that attack on the Capitol, there was a sense of carnival for Trump's mob. These people were having fun. There was a weird manic joy, a kind of euphoria, pleasure and excitement at harming other people.​
Trump is a sadist, but he's also arousing and tapping into the sadism in his right-wing authoritarian followers. He liberates a level of aggressive energy because one of the beliefs of the right-wing extremist is that aggression should be used for dominance and to enforce conformity and submission.​

These findings about Republicans and political violence are consistent with the warnings of many leading mental health experts that Donald Trump and his movement represent a dire threat to American democracy. This is true both because of Trump's obvious mental pathologies — in this case repeated encouragements to violence — and because of his ability to sway members of the public to share his worldview.

Dr. Frank echoed these concerns, describing Trump's unusual "ability to tap into people's fears and hatred," and suggesting that his followers "are actually scarier than he is":

Trump unites his supporters in a shared idea of opposition to some other groups or individuals they revile. It doesn't even matter whether they are Black or Muslim or immigrants or migrants from Latin and South America, or Democrats, for that matter. They are all to be dehumanized. Trump has found a way to unite his followers around an impulse to be openly racist and contemptuous, and granted them that freedom. He has normalized hatred among his supporters.​

Through these processes, right-wing political violence and other antisocial and destructive behavior are gradually becoming normalized across American society. The events of Jan. 6 were a logical next step.

Republicans generally oppose taking steps to address the global climate crisis -- and in fact have consistently made the crisis worse. During Trump's presidency, Republicans engaged in acts of democide through their willfully incompetent response to the COVID-19 pandemic, choices that have now killed more than 600,000 people in the United States.

The Republican response to gun violence (including mass shootings), the health care crisis, education, wealth and income inequality, and social injustice more generally have caused the deaths of millions of Americans since the 1960s. It is no exaggeration to claim that today's Republican Party — and the larger "conservative" movement more generally —is sociopathic.

Leftists and democrats refuse to deal with the fact that there were many unruly rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6 who were there to incite riots, not support Trump. As long as the left refuses to acknowledge facts they also nullify all their arguments against the Trump supporters.

this would be hilarious if it wasn't so persuasive to weak-minded people like rusha and the bananahead and evil people like yourself
