    yeah, one person away, you keep saying that.

    like i pointed out, we are always one secret service agents away from a dead executive branch. but it is really that likely? and dont you see how it matters how likely an event is?

    you cant give me an estimate?

    i can. i say, if jan 6 happened 1000 times, the number of times out govt would be overthrown is zero. what you think?

    I think you're wrong. I think if Mike Pence had it to do all over again he would cancel the meeting or refuse to accept the electors trump didn't like. Why am I confident in saying that? Because he underestimated at the time the complete scumminess of the Republican Party, who now hate him instead of the insurrectionists. By all accounts, he is not relishing that hatred. Even he did not foresee how anti-American people such as yourself are.

    The US is 244 years old. Minus the 4 years of the civil war, Jan 6th went off without a hitch 240 times out of 244.

    We can do some rough math and assume that out of 1000 years, Jan 6th can happen 16 times if you consider the civil war equal to Jan 6th. Or 1.6% chance.

    If not, its 0/1000

    However, there have been zero reports of Vikings during the civil war so I am still not sure it could even happen as a Viking sitting on the throne seems to be the deciding factor in all this.

    Likewise, unlike Jan 6th 2020, the civil war used an actual plan, leadership, guns, and many more people; and still failed.

    i see, so can you estimate the risk then? like we had a 33% chance of losing our democracy and becoming an authoritarian dictatorship?

    Your and understanding of the election cycle is weak. The Electoral College meets every 4 years not every year numb-nut. Try again I guess it’s a good indication of your understanding of many things.

    jan 6th happens every year.

    if trump is re-elected, you will again have irrational fear about the loss of our democracy, even without him being on the ballot or jan 6th having any relevance, correct? so why should we limit our examples of safe days to ballot counting days? all days are opportunities for trump to take over?

    Of course jan 6th happens every year. The electoral college meets every four years. What specific point are you trying to make?

    i dont see why the folks freaking out about jan 6 think the supposed aspiring dictator trump would need any sort of riot to declare himself king. the riot didnt do anything, and had no chance to do anything.

    Continue your deflection and lying about the events between November 3 2020 and January 6 2021 you’ll see another attempt that will be successful and you’ll regret the loss of freedom.
