If Biden wins Trump might even send his supporters to the Capitol to riot and if possible hang his non compliant vice president and kill opposition members of congress. That’d be awful!

My memory admittedly isn’t what it was but I can’t remember a single example of a senior Democrat disputing the result of the 2016 election or saying Trump was an illegitimate president (not based on the actual results anyway). Genuinely interested if there was.

To defend Trump and his various egregious acts on the familiar basis of ‘they’re all the same’ is becoming a common refrain on both sides of the Atlantic. Reactionaries have nothing left except to look for enemies.
