I wish you were right, but given that 77,302,580 people in America over the age of 18 thought it was perfectly fine and reasonable to elect a convicted felon who already tried to overthrow the peaceful transfer of power; I think you’re unfortunately dead wrong.
We look back on J6 with rose colored glasses (even those of us who disagree with what happened) because J6 failed. But we were **THAT** close to having Trump break the continuity of Presidential succession. We were one unlawfully obeyed order from sliding into autocracy already. Now they get a second shot at that.

I strongly oppose what is happening, yet it's crucial to recognize that his voters are far from homogeneous. Some are fiercely pro-life, others were swayed by the promise of lower prices, and many perceive his words as mere rhetoric. It's a misconception to believe that most Americans have a solid grasp of economics and history. In reality, many remain unaware of the meticulously crafted propaganda aimed at them.

Respectfully - what could the J6 mob actually have done? They embarrassed themselves and the country when they bummed rush the capital, sure - but they didn’t have any power or force to actually mount an actual insurrection and topple the government
