I am surprised you aren't saying covid??? Pfft whatever it's nothing compared to H1N1
This isn't a coup attempt. It's a series of failed legal challenges in a super non-standard election, where it is easy for delusional people to believe their side was legit cheated. I don't believe my side was cheated, but I see how one can come to that conclusion if they are already biased.
I don't agree with any of this stuff taking place, and I wish it wasn't. I just don't see it as a horrible horrible crisis, mostly because it had zero chance of succeeding, but also because it's mainly a bunch of half-hearted attempts to challenge results of a very weird election with very bad optics (Trump was way ahead late into election night, and then all of a sudden he wasn't).
I tend to get more upset about tangible things which really hurt people. The "race riots" of 2020 weren't just race riots. The 1992 riots were race riots, but as you saw, that came and went without a lot of consequences. The difference in 2020 was that the left and mainstream media engaged in a shocking amount of delusion and denial regarding both the scope of the riots and the ones perpetrating them. The whole thing was praised as beautiful and just, even with all the death and destruction, and even with all the super-irresponsible behavior taking place during a pandemic. To this day, most on the left believe the protests were "mostly peaceful", that the violence was mostly by white supremacists, and that it somehow wasn't dangerous regarding spreading COVID. By contrast, in 1992, Democrats and media condemned everything that was happening.
To me, this demonstrated that Democrats and the media were supportive of violence and destruction, as long as it was pushing a narrative on "their side". Look at that idiot mayor in Portland, already apologizing for being hostile to the idiots in their LOL Occupied Zone. Look at the idiot DA in Los Angeles actually listing a lot of crimes he absolutely will never prosecute.
This is the type of shit which legitimately hurts everyday Americans, and affects/ruins lives. Not some sore loser narcissist President who doesn't want to concede right away that he got voted out of office in a super-non-standard election, and attempts to find his way out of it. Again, that's not good, and I don't like it, but what I fear for this country's future isn't anything related to that.
