If this is really truly the case, explain the J6 insurrection. Trump lied for 2 months about the election results. Summoned his supporters, who literally show up with weapons flying Trump / Confederate / Nazi flags side by side, sacked the capitol, attempted to murder the Vice President and Speaker of the House. They engaged in what was described as "medieval combat" for hours. People died, cops and injured for life. To this day, the people in power who you say are not the bad guys refuse to admit responsibility for what happened and pardoned all the people who committed those crimes on his behalf. How do you square what happened then with your assertion that "the past decade "our side" have been advocating cooperation"?
