If it's "over the top", it's because what happened was over the top. The language I used is literal and accurate.
- mythrwy 5y agoA guy in a viking suit with bear spray was out to take over the government? NPR and Washington Post say so (after 4 years of claiming Trump was the antichrist). They are grasping at straws trying to build an (unreasonable) narrative. Where are the insurrection charges in court? No, what happened was a bunch of people were upset about an election they perceived as fraudulent and wanted certification stopped until an investigation was performed (also not reasonable, the electors had been certified at that point and it was done deal). Also Trump didn't help matters. Once the state electors were in it was over for him, fraud or no fraud. There wasn't reasonable time to audit anything and he did no one any favors by getting the crowd whipped into a frenzy.
- buu700 5y agoBeing an idiot in a viking suit justifies attempting to assassinate multiple acting government officials for the purpose of interrupting the certification of the election. OK.
- mythrwy 5y agoI'm sorry I strongly disagree your language is either literal or accurate.
