You're right that he didn't respect the 2020 results - but that's 
not new in politics. We've had candidates dispute outcomes before 
(think "hanging chads"), so it's not unique to him.


As for "inciting an insurrection," I'm not personally convinced 
he intended for anything violent to happen. I wasn't there, 
and none of us really know the mindset of every person who showed 
up or what pushed them individually. That part is still debated 
and may be for a long time.

 pF>  Trump telling people before the 2024 election "vote for me and you'll

I took that the same way I did when he said it: campaign rhetoric. 
Every candidate exaggerates during election season. He doesn't have 
the power to end elections any more than any other president would.
