How many times have you insisted that Trump attempted to overturn the election with a "violent insurrection"?  Where are you backpedaling too now?
Third world?  What about China, Russia, Iran, etc.?  What's your point?

You could get this so easily if you would stop assuming you're smarter than me.
You may be smarter in a general sense, but I know something you don't.  I have something to teach you.  But you don't want to learn from me.  You just want to try to find problems in my statements, just like the Pharisees and Saducees did to Jesus.  Not that I'm anything like Jesus, but you're exactly like those other guys.
Listen. I am not backpedaling.  I was speaking about what could happen in the future.  Regardless of what you think happened on January 6, it won't happen exactly that way again. If you have people in power who actually respect election results, nothing like January 6 will happen.  If you don't, something similar to, but not identical to, Jan 6 will happen.

LOL.  What exactly are you trying to teach me Yoda?  That in some countries, those who speak out against the generalissimo may suffer an unfortunate "accident"?  In other breaking news, water is wet.
You do realize we don't have a 3rd world generalissimo form of government here?
P.S.  Trump's not in power, so why are you worried about the upcoming election cycle?
My.

My mom always says you can say something right (factual or correct) but if you say it with the wrong attitude nobody will care. Or if you apologize with a wrong attitude it's not really an apology. 

How you speak to people is just as important as what you say.

I really have no idea what you're talking about about.  That's not me.  I don't know what I ever said that made you think I think of my self as set apart or above others.  I definitely don't.  You're thinking of Sneakers.
Even so, you're the one openly admitting that you refuse to listen to someone based only on your perception of their attitude, but I'm the one with the problem? Also, if you weren't listening, you wouldn't reply, and maybe that would be better.
None of this is about me.
Yall have your own problems, the orange man made yall feel better about them, and anyone who pokes a hole in that must be an enemy somehow.
Anyhow I kind of get it.  No one says that the police officer telling you to evacuate from a wildfire has an attitude problem. He's trying to save your life, his life is in danger, it's relatable. I'm here trying to warn you that some casino owning reality TV star clown is risking civil war just to stroke his ego, but truly, I'm rich and I'll be fine, many of you for various reasons think you'll be fine, some of you welcome the civil war, and it just isn't connecting for that reason. Oh well.

If you're asking, between you and Americus, who has the problem, trust me, you don't want to know the results of that poll.  

Aren't the Democrats risking civil war themselves by circumventing the electoral process?  I don't recall seeing Harris on any ballot in the Primary.  If I was a registered Democrat, I'd feel cheated.

P.S.  Hey, that was a trick question about a civil war.  Sheep don't revolt, they just mindlessly go where the shepherd tells them to, even if the path is over the cliff.
