You could take this same argument and switch some words and it’d match up perfectly with the silly argument that Trump stole the election in 2016 and equally silly argument that Biden stole it in 2020.
No white hats. Blue pigs, red pigs, same mud. Sure, the blue are more reasonable. But in a game where winning is the only thing that matters, that’s a liability. And so they all go just as deep, just as ugly. And differentiating between their tactics is, intellectually, a dry handjob. It embarrasses those who do it. Telecasts naïveté.

Wait, so the fact that sometimes (only sometimes) Dems challenge very close elections in court is the same as revving up your mob to storm the capitol and kill some people because they got soundly beaten in an election?
