    If you are going to be that dense about this, why would I bother?

    I know that Madonna never threatened to blow up the White House and the Gary Griffin's sister never play-acted decapitating the President.

    "Resist" and make yourselves ungovernable is definitely a stance of people who accepted the results of the election.

    I believe you're both talking about two different things. The Democrat voters totally flipped their shit, but the Democratic candidates and officers still accepted the results...at least in the sense that they conceded, or didn't say they would refuse to leave office, or challenge the results in court, or anything like that.

    Now, I understand that is an EXTREMELY low bar. If you lose then you really don't have a choice, so it's kind of silly to give someone credit for doing something when they had no other choice other than to do what they did. But, for what it's worth, no Democrat candidate or officer tried to actually defy the results of the elections.

    Totally agree with that...but they did start planning impeachment before he was even sworn in. Several democratic lawmakers were on that train long before articles were close to being filed. So while they didn't defy the results, they certainly went directly to the path of trying to get him out of office. We had members of Congress literally telling their base to confront and harass members of his cabinet.

    Impeachment was stupid. It wasn't an impeachable offense, and it had no chance of working even if it was. It was another example of how everything is now adversarial and partisan, which is unsettling.

    Uh, because you are the one making this claim...along with accusing people who don't agree with you as being dense.

    If that's your "evidence" of Democrats refusing to accept the fact that Trump was elected in 2016, you've got nothing.

    Read a bit more carefully and you will discover that I read 4 papers daily, plus a number of news sites including Fox. And there is no evidence that I have seen that suggests that Democrats claim that Trump's win was illegitimate. Dumb, yes. Tragic, yes. But not corrupt, fake, or illegitimate. So again, I ask for evidence of this claim.

    A bar that Trump daily challenges.
