        The reason they didn’t win isn’t because they were women. It was because of their policies & positions. I’d love to hear you argue why MTG should be the next president for Democrats though, just cause she’s a woman.

      Obviously you’re a worthless scumbag, but you kind of are right, they had 4 years to do something about traitors to the country and did nothing but let them live freely and vote for Trumpler again.

    By pardoning the January 6th insurrectionists, Trump legitimized political violence so long as it is done in his name. This is fascism since it views political violence as an acceptable means for strengthening nationalism. The pardon bolsters his political power by quelling dissent from those who may check his power (e.g. the Supreme Court, Congress) since they show he will physically attack them through his supporters.
