No. It certainly goes way far beyond trump. Its about people feeling like their vote does not count.

No one is saying this is incorrect. However this is hardly the first time a President has garnered a cult like following. Some people are saying it is. They're ignorant, willfully obtuse, or both.

Here is my blunt diagnosis of what is happening in this country.
This guy has the most intelligent and (in my opinion) accurate analysis of where we are...but he has a Russian name.

Just a reminder, about 75 million people voted for Trump. I presume that at least some of them think he's the best president this country has ever seen.
Most of them weren't anywhere near the capital today. Hell, even the bulk of the ones that were near the capital today didn't do much of anything but wave flags and shout at CNN.
A lot of his devoted followers were off living their lives today.

Basically what it boils down to is people are gullible as f*** even in 2021.
Right, but point being that the technology continues to become more ever present in every facet of our lives, there is more content than ever before (including more conspiracy content), and the algorithms have become more and more advanced creating those echo chambers leading to these polarized factions.

Mike Pence incited this with his negligence to do his job and protect the country from a fraudulent election.

Was he misrepresenting the stance that the progressive wing of the Democratic party is demonstrating as of late?

No, but I’ve been operating on the general assumption that only the jobless ‘community organizer,’ SJW/useful idiot crowd actually believed that bs, hence the question.

It's crazy to me that people are acting as if they believe that Trump supporters are just mad that he lost.

Context of the other issues happening in this country right now that I outlined in my previous post.
Again, Trump is not helping things. But he's only a symptom, not the underlying disease.

You people that think Trump is the antichrist and every word or act is the end of the world are just as much cultists and those who think Trump is the savior of the republic and can do no wrong.
