His failed plot to overturn the legitimate election by submitting a fake slate of electors? Yes, we remember.
I thought that we needed F 16s to overthow the government.
Who said anything about overthrowing the government?
Cool, then how was he going to overturn an election?
...by submitting a fake slate of electors. I feel like this is not that complex of a concept to grasp, but I'll simplify it for your FOX News-addled mush brain:
Imagine a scenario in which 10 people eating at a restaurant all want to decide what to have for dessert. After some discussion, they've narrowed the choices down to Key Lime Pie or Cheesecake. The kitchen will only make one dessert for the table, so the table has to pick one or the other, they can't have both. Naturally, the table takes a vote to see which dessert a majority of people will be satisfied with. 6 people vote for Key Lime Pie, and 4 people vote for Cheesecake. Key Lime Pie wins. So the table sends one of their group to go and take the order to the kitchen, making it official. But along the way, one of the Cheesecake guys decides that they don't give a shit if most of the people at the table wanted something different and they intercept the guy delivering the order. They tell that person that a few people at the table changed their minds and now Cheesecake actually won so they should tell the chef to make that instead. Of course, the people at the table did not change their minds, this was a lie meant to trick the person delivering the order into doing what they wanted rather than what the majority demanded.
Given that scenario, don't you think it's unfair that the people who voted for Key Lime Pie would have been deprived of the dessert that they actually wanted and most people agreed on had the person who submitted the fake order actually succeeded?
Same thing here. Trump was the government, so there was nothing to overthrow. He overturned the election to remain in power past his mandate. Hence why I'm wondering why you're talking about needing fighter jets to overthrow a government because that's not what we're talking about, nor is violent revolution always a prerequisite for a coup d'état.
I am aware of the situation, and its the same things that democrats would do in the same situation. Both teams do a bunch of bullshit and fight in court over each election now. You assume that I am a trump vote, but I am not. I just know that your team sucks more than his team and does worse things, like try to throw the most likely presidential candidate in prison.
That which is asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. No proof that democrats would do the same in that situation and we have 200 years of peaceful transfers of power to prove that.
Nobody simps this hard for Trump if they aren't also planning on voting for him too. It's okay, I already think you're an idiot, I can't possibly have a lower opinion of you right now. You might as well just say the quiet parts out loud. I'm certainly not trying to convince you to change your vote at this point. I already know whose "team" you are on anyway, since you seem to think this is just a game.
The RNC had two whole years to pick another candidate. Two years knowing that Trump was under felony indictment and could very likely be imprisoned right around the election. This was not an accident - they are using the fact that Trump is being tried in court as a political weapon. The Republicans think you are stupid and will try to convince you that this is a plot by the democrats when in reality, Trump did this to himself by committing the crimes he did. If Trump doesn't want to go to jail, maybe he should have thought about the consequences.
Take a peak at the 2016 and bush elections...
