- dontreact 5y agoIf pelosi were murdered (and potentially other senators too) Do you think the senate would still have certified the election? Or would Trump still be president? I think the fear is that the mob was almost able to make it so that Trump’s lie about a stolen election would have overridden the democratic process. If such an event happened, it would have been fair to say that event “killed democracy”
