Enjoyed reading these 3 pages, team. It's probably more on me, but I feel I can finally read political discourse without getting angry... or maybe everyone here has just upped their civility game.

It's almost ironic, because Trump is one of the most peace-loving politicians there is. While he certainly wished someone would do something to help him steal the election back (notably: Pence) and perhaps wouldn't have minded if it came via the crowd's actions, I think he was ultimately aggrieved when he saw what his followers did. In theory being in power is worth the coup to obtain it, for Trump, but when he saw the physical violence involved I think he, inside, finally conceded.

Hopefully his rhetoric moves beyond election fraud. He has a loyal following and can help push them (and politicians) to a better path forward. However, one of his main tools has been demonizing the left. It is a shame that both sides are content to use the cudgel rather than the ear. Can he (or politics in general) evolve?
