Well he is certainly not alone in thinking the election was stolen.  All this could have been avoided if there was an actual investigation of the irregularities so people could learn the truth. Instead lawsuits were rejected not based on evidence but on procedural grounds.  No plausible explanation of the strange events in PA, WI, GA, NV and MI were made other than blanket denials, a refusal to investigate and a denigration of people that had legitimate concerns as conspiracy theorists.  Instead we get stonewalling to run out the clock which only heightens the suspicions.  And maybe there was no fraud but given the reaction of the election officials it certainly seems to me they had something to hide.

The people that resorted to violence yesterday did so of their own accord and they are personally responsible for their actions.  But Trump isn't to blame for this.  They saw years of violent rioting and looting from Antifa and BLM and the excuses from the media that they were angry, frustrated and feel helpless so they just had to resort to violence.  And they saw prominent Democrats and stupid leftist celebrities bailing out the ones that were not in a city controlled by a Soros-funded DA. They basically saw violence as a sanctioned response to being angry, furstrated and feeling hopeless.  And whose fault is that?  Not Trump.

These people saw that the left resorts to rioting and seem to be getting what they want and they stupidly got caught up in the moment and the mob mentality took over.   I have warned everyone that this was headed to a civil war if the left didn't get control of themselves.  These idiots yesterday saw themselves as patriots trying to save their country from America-hating leftists and resorted to the same tactics used against them and their beliefs for years.

For Trump this might indeed be all about Trump but I frankly don't care because for me it is all about saving our republic.  If a large percentage of the population believes that we will no longer have free and fair national elections and that voter fraud will be tolerated and even encouraged and that the rules will be changed to enable and encourage fraud then this country is indeed headed to another civil war.  The left and Democrats can avoid all this by calling for a thorough, comprehensive bipartisan investigation of the 2020 election.  Instead it will be swept under the rug and in 2024 we will have more protests and violence.  And they will be to blame and I have to wonder why they won't listen to tens of millions of Americans and do so.  My theory is because it will indeed uncover massive fraud and that Trump won the election.  And it will result in a fair election free of massive fraud which they might lose and they can't let that happen.
