The question you are avoiding is "Were we close to losing our democracy?
Sorry, Mike. You ask a question that cannot be answered. Just read the thread. Everyone has a different opinion about how close it was and there are many scenarios.
The correct question is:
Why were we in a position where there was any possibility we might lose our democracy?
Every president since George Washington has peacefully handed the reins of power to the next person, until Donald Trump.
Close or far isn’t relevant. The fact that there was a possibility of losing our democracy is the only thing relevant.
And that was due to a weak, insecure person with an overinflated ego who valued his own interests over our nation’s democracy.
And Republicans have put that person in position to attempt the same thing again. Trump is obviously a sick man and his supporters keep empowering him and making excuses for him.
This is not a game.
It’s dead serious.
