Rightwriter: The main thrust of your response was ‘who cares if Trump deligitimizes the election and sues, since Biden was planning to do that too.’ I believe emes nisht sheker is accurate in response to your Hillary point, albeit it was probably dumb for Hillary to speak that way. And not only is she not a candidate, but no democrats these days care about her opinion anyway. I voted for Trump in 2016, btw. As for the prolonged protests (or ‘riots’ as you call them), I don’t see how that helps Biden. BLM marches worked to get Trump more votes, and unfortunately Trump could use future protests against his coup-attempt as a pretext to bring in the military now that he’s replaced pentagon with loyalists. His policies may be more friendly to Israel (for now), but once you go down that road, it’s a step towards dictatorship, as in the disctatorships that led our grandparents to flee America. Maybe not as bad, but why go in that direction? Our parents and grandparents liked the stability of a democracy and the limits on power. Hopefully Trump is just talking a big game. But in the meantime he is destabilizing our country and showing dictatorships around the world it’s OK if might equals right.
But the bigger takeaway from your response seems to be that you agree with my point #s 2, 3 and 4.
