I get what you're saying, but imagine for a second that Trump managed to convince two states legislators to send in R electoral college votes and throw out the democratic election. Imagine how pissed you'd be. It's not that hard to imagine liberals storming the capital because of a stolen election.

I don't find the reverse scenario to be that far fetched. I get their misplaced anger. They were sold lies and those lies are enraging if you believe them. I don't think it's that hard to see the other side's viewpoint.

If some dumbass lib climbed through a window at the head of mob chanting for the President's blood because they lost and were stupid enough to fall for easily disproven lie I also wouldn't blame the Secret Service for popping their head.

I'd say the exact same thing as I say about Babbit.
