I think the point BHM is making - and I agree with him - is that whatever the plans were of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, they had no actual real-world chance of allowing Trump to retain the Presidency.

It still constitutes a threat, but BHM goes further and claims liberals say we lost our democracy, which I have never heard. Why overstate the claim?

The next step in this gambit is to claim there never really was a threat to democracy - there was a threat and still is. We were fortunate in that Trump is incompetent, as 1pg pointed out. But from what I've read recruiting in the Proud boys is up. We still have a large chunk of the population that thinks the election was rigged.

I really think understating Jan 6 is a disservice.
