Maybe. But there’s also been a bipartisan rebuke of Trump and his gang’s tactics. For many Trump’s breaking of norms was funny, admirable or simply inept. But when you play with fire (like telling people a fair election was in fact stolen) and people die, it’s not funny anymore.

Yes, it was stolen. Dominion voting machines are owned by the CCP, and aren't FEC-compliant. The USPS was involved in back-dating ballots and discarding ballots. 3 of the 5 people who died, in a crowd of 500,000 people, died of natural causes. Not unexpected. Leftists, your feelings are not facts. The facts are not hard to find, unless you're wilfully ignorant.
