I was with you for almost all the way, but I suspect you lost me and almost everyone else with: "The defeat of Biden in the next presidential election. It doesn’t matter by whom." No, I think we all can agree it DOES matter by whom if it's a former president that came a hair's breadth away from crowning himself King and toppling democracy forever. Because what we also all know is that, if defeated, Biden would in fact attend the inauguration and then peacefully walk out of the White House; just like EVERY single former head of state has for the last 200+ years.

We've had US Presidents that were crooks, cowards, incompetent and paranoid, and NOT ONE attempted to illegally hold onto to the office. This is a binary equation if there ever was one, and to claim otherwise is like meeting an otherwise intelligent and thoughtful scientist who happens to mention he's OK with flat-earth theory. It immediately calls into question everything else he said.

Oh my god, Franklin, are you saying that Trump would be better than Biden if it was between them? I absolutely cannot fathom that idea. You've lost me on this one.
