You've all probably heard by now, but a bunch of Trump supporters are marching on DC on Wednesday to pressure Congress into overturning the election. Trump is supportive of this. What do you think will happen? Will it be super small, or will it actually change Congress' votes?

Also, isn't it insanely hypocritical how these fuckers wouldn't shut up about Hillary trying to "steal" the election in 2016, and now are doing the exact same thing?

    But it’s pretty obvious that Trump launders money for folks including Russian mobsters among others via real estat

    Right but that likely happens with any large real estate investor too. Because that's how you make more money at it. Selling your properties as investments for foreign dignitaries, officials, crime lords, etc isn't only Trump. And Biden's family definitely is involved in their own game of corrupt behavior. Hell, pretty much all of congress regularly participates in insider trading. Corrupt people shouldn't be president but they always have been and will be until something changes.

    The point isn't that Trump is a good guy who's got a tough rap from the libs. The point is that with Trump its the end of the fucking world, democracy is dead because of him and his actions. When this kind of shit happens and has happened all throughout American history. Because the real problem isn't a few corrupt people. It's the system. So when people lay the death of US democracy at the feet of Trump and his corruption, I cannot abide. Not because I love Trump or am trying to be contrarian to libs. But because nobody who cares about this stuff seems to have a memory past last year. And they certainly don't remember all the times in US history this shit happens yet we continue on. They have to believe Trump is an anomaly. I'm not accusing you of that, just trying to give context as to why I'm pushing back on this.
