    but your claim is that we almost lost our democracy. you seem quite willing to speculate. why have you come to a conclusion that this almost happened, but also are uwilling to explain how you can know it almost happened, or specically what "almost" means?

    Yes. Losing our democracy did not depend on this particular executive order.

    Never have had a democracy to lose. We HAD a representative republic until Lincoln killed it. Since then we have had a bureaucratic oligarchy in DC.

    Not really. It depended on Mike Pence.

    so the folks invading the capitol, they had very little chance to physically hold hostage and intimidate pence to do their bidding, correct?

    A representative republic is a form of democracy.

    It's fair to say that the Republican Party works for plutocratic oligarchy, the Democratic Party works more for the people.

    You got THAT from my answer? That's a non sequitur. It doesn't follow from what I said. They had a very potent chance of intimidating Pence into doing their bidding.

    Why do you ask the same questions over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over ?

    but you already said that was "not really" necessary.

    i would also point out that is was fucking impossible, given pence's security, ability to be evacuated and rescued by the world most elite humans, and the fact that no firearms were found in the capitol, and mike pence's security for sure have lots of very powerful, very proficiently used firearms.

    i ask these questions because you refuse to answer them and instead deflect to insults. like you have not described the events that would lead to pence's physical intimidation and his ruling in trump's favor. would he have the viking hat guy holding him in a MMA-style choke whilst forcing pence to do his bidding?

    That is funny as can be! You trying to tell people that Democrat Party leaders aren’t wealthy and don’t rely on the obedience of the people for control?

    hilarious with your Warren Buffet and mandates and what was that 12 years ago? You have to be enrolled In health care or pay a penalty? Democrats are more oligarchs than you like to admit. Telling people what to do all the time.
