Right, but it seems this didn't enter the media until 2012 and the birther movement had started before that. So it doesn't prove that this started "birtherism". Even if someone had seen it earlier and that was the initial spark (and the booklet never made it to the mainstream until 2012), I doubt most touting the birther movement had seen this booklet. Kenya was probably floated because his father was born there, and that might've been the source of the mistake in the first place. I'm not denying this could lead to questions, I'm just not convinced that this started birtherism or was the main reason most birthers doubted Obama's status as an American. The birther movement was already in full swing, then this was found and the birthers were validated. 🤷♂️
I believe there was fraud. There are documented cases of it, including by Trump voters. However that’s a very different question than “do you think there was rampant fraud to the point where it resulted in an incorrect outcome”. The answer to that is no. Dozens and dozens of court cases, including multiple entreaties to the 6-3 conservative Supreme Court resulted in case after case being thrown out. The only way to come to the conclusion that the election was stolen is by believing a known liar with no proof and ridiculous conspiracy theories.
I trust you understand how math works right? More people voted against him.
It's no use arguing with you. Good luck rationalizing these fantasies with reality.
There was NO FRAUD. Get your mind FREE! It is a lie! ONLY a lie! And yes, a LIE TO SUPPORT SEDITION. Break free! There is a world outside of the personality cult of Donald Trump, and we welcome the lost back from it. But is it too late to be free for many? I think, sadly, it is.
You know, when it's more than a few token minorities here and there, your argument will land a little harder. If it really was based on ideas and not race, it would have the SAME racial ratios as other movements, and the population in general, right? Oh but there's those facts and that logic... It's 99% all white, and this country, well that just ain't it.
Interesting. It surely seems like I saw unsettling events on the news, and it surely didn’t always seem dark.
And you really believe they went in loaded with weapons, with the intent to kill politicians and media members, and didn’t kill a single one? Interesting.
Corporations/companies like Twitter, this forum, etc utilize censorship at their discretion. If the economy and balance of power works in their favor they do not want a societal upheaval or overthrow of the establishment. so any “hate” or “violent” type of speech could pick up momentum they’ll squash it before it starts. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not for threats to individuals or groups of people or advocation of violence in that vein. But when the interpretation of hate and violence by media companies and corporations to quell legitimate grievances to the powers that be are silenced then you have general control of opposing efforts to challenge that power.
Let me know if any of that made sense

I also don't recall 9 months of looting, arson, assault, bombing, shootings and occupation by Republicans prior to the 200 election. Nor do I recall Republicans or Democrats assaulting and harassing people in restaurants with their families. Nor do I recall a congressional baseball game where a congressman was almost killed prior to the last 4 years or lies about a sitting president being an agent of Russia or a media queen talking out loud about blowing up the White House because her candidate lost. Nor do I recall people from advocating not enforcing federal law and obstructing justice when federal police tried to enforce congressionally passed laws. Nor do I recall politicians interfering with the practice of religion while allowing violent protesters the right to burn down police stations and loot nation wide while forcing people into bankruptcy over a virus.
Past elections have been a lot different. No question.
No one will remember this in 2 news cycles. Do you remember how people occupied the WI capital building for a few days. Or how people stormed the SC at the Kavanaugh hearings. I had to look those up. Once Trump is history life will move on and this will be remebered as a 3 hour criminal act of no lasting importance. But you will still be filled with hate and that is the real tragedy.
They started screaming and crying pretty loudly when one of their seditious lot was shot in the face and died, as the crowd was trying to literally break down the door the politicians were behind. Those facts, inconvenient, eh?
Didn’t kill a single one? Really?
You underestimate the significance of this. The United States Capital had not been breached by enemies of the state since 1812. This is not something that is going away.
I'm a lover baby, All is One, you, me, everything, that is how god works. We are perfect pieces of god, and everything that is, was, and will ever be, is that. But here in this realm of the relative I still think you're an old fool with garbage ideas who wants to look away from the blatant racist hate that gets spewed from your party on a daily basis, and yes, the blatant act of sedition it will be permanently remembered for in its gross, final days. You are so OF IT, you cannot SEE it -- like a fish in the ocean that cannot see the water, an ocean of white privilege.
It's not about Trump. It's about me, it's about you and all Americans to have transparency and have the confidence in our election system. Maybe you don't believe there was fraud. That's fine but how about if when 70+ million American voters disagree with you... we take some time to look at any evidence about it so.. at least then we will both be able to decide for ourselves and not just follow one of the party's talking points like sheep.
He knows. He just WANTS us to forget. And we, nor history, ever will. WE WILL NOT LET IT BE FORGOTTEN!
You might think you know that you are on the right side of history, but only time and history will make that judgement. Many in the past, say a hundred years ago, were convinced they were on the right side of history, but by the standards of today, they were dead wrong. We should make our decision and learn to live with it now. There are only two sides, right and wrong. By the judgement of some future time, you we could be dead, and only history will know if we were on the right side of history.
On January 6, 2021, the people who stormed the U.S. Capitol had the conviction that they were on the right side of history. Unfortunately, history will judge them wrong. It already has and they live to see it with their own eyes.
One more time for the obstinate: THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF FRAUD.
Public companies and services that promote themselves as a "organization for all" should NOT censor and moderate LEGAL activities of people.
If you have a social, religious, or political opinion that you want to force on others you should come out to the public as such. You can have a "Jewish" Twitter that bans Christmas celebrations, or Catholic Facebook that does not publish atheist ideology, but you can't call yourself a PUBLIC company and force your own views.
If it is LEGAL it should be allowed. I say someone should sue Apple and others for censorship and anti-democratic actions.

I've heard many argue that the Capitol had been breached and held by enemies of the state long before Jan. 6th.
Sometimes evidence and irrefutable facts cannot dissuade those who appeal to a higher logic: illogic.
F
Correct, they were killed before they had a chance to kill.
I know several people died, but he stated they went in to kill politicians and media. They did not kill a single politician. Seriously - read the post that’s being responded to. Stop taking things out of context.
By this logic BLM is racist. This is dumb logic.
