I don't think any of us expected the coup attempt at all. Not in America, which is a democracy and hung on to that by the skin of its teeth for four long years.
One of the very few good things about Trump's presidency, it tested systems in place. eg When he tried to replace Michigan state electors with people loyal to him, who would ignore the state's election results and cast for Trump instead. That backfired because it's illegal and the MI Republicans wouldn't go along despite Trump pressuring them. He tried similar in several key states he lost. I don't think any other POTUS had tried this prior.
"The entire election, frankly, in all the swing states should be overturned and the legislatures should make sure that the electors are selected for Trump." -Sidney Powell, on Fox News Nov 2020
People where not surprised by that kind of illegal behavior. The coup though, didn't really see that coming.
I think it also showed the problems in those systems. If he had a few more people willing to go against their oaths he could have muddied the waters enough to maybe take the election.
That is a very fair complaint, especially considering how many people are defending those illegal actions by either claiming it wasn't illegal, denying they ever happened or refusing to even discuss it to this day.
I just realized something, Trump supporters watch Alex Jones and post Pepe avatars, but if the chemicals are turning the frogs gay, then they’re losing their Christian faith and the democrats are devils and bohemian grove is real!
:shock:

Decided to ask Quora how claims against Trump of facist, nazi, or racist are justified.
I wanted to see if I was missing something obvious. So far most replies point to bad behavior. Trump refers to someone he knows as a black guy, that makes him racist. Trump calls the press the enemy of the people, which is facism. Trump seperates children from parents to terrorize them.
I dunno. To me this seems like mostly hyperbole and exaggerations.
Is Trump a role model? No.
Is Trump a good example for anyone to follow? No.
Is Trump a good president? No.
Is Trump putting jews in gas chambers, purging political dissidents, intentionally starving people, and leaving a trail of bodies and blood?
Because for me, body counts matter.
If all a president doss is piss people off, that's a good thing. No bullets, no bombs, just angry emails or tweets or non american's feeling better about themselves because their leader knows a thing or two about poise.

Oh, I agree. I'm not saying one has to like the guy.
I just feel the hate is kind of over the top. I mean, people claim they actually want him dead, which is just crazy talk.
