75 million people voted for Trump, but 75 million people do not support what happened on Wednesday. A good number of the people that voted for Trump voted for him because they didn’t believe the warnings from the other side about just how unhinged Trump is. And then they got to witness this first hand this week.

There’s still undoubtedly a large group of supporters who believe every word that Trump says, and who he can whip into a frenzy. And that group can absolutely do a lot of damage. But it’s nowhere near 75 million people would would be ok burning democracy down because Trump told them to.

Delusional and brainwashed thinking is what you are displaying

Half of republicans support the riot


Indeed, those people had 4 years of evidence to see what exactly they were voting for. Those 75 million people get no pass from me. Maybe the first time, but not the second.
