> a few confused people mill around the rotunda and take selfies. That's like calling 9/11 "a few planes being temporarily diverted from their flight paths". The facts[0] paint a different picture: "13 percent of those nearly 700 arrested as of early December are members of militia groups like the Oath Keepers or extremist groups like the Proud Boys." > could have been avoided by winning by clear and resounding margins If you don't care about the clear and resounding margin of the popular vote, or care about the voter suppression efforts in red states, or the fact that Biden won 74 more electoral votes than Trump, then I don't know what to tell you. > by having a track record of passing legislation that people want You're basically saying "Unless the winners pass exactly the legislation that the losers want, then the losers will resort to violence". You're advocating for terrorism.
