Not really. this is what happens when people think democracy has failed them, or they have been cheated.

People refused to accept Trump as president and now the other side is refusing to accept Biden.

Some have very short memories, they should have a peoples vote;)

More likely its because a few in influential folk in security let them walk in. Either through incompetence or deliberately. A few sackings in order I think.

Those that didn't want Trump as President didn't invade the Capitol and kill people.

They introduced a false idea, spreading it by every available means (Fox, Twitter, etc.). Then, once people are talking about it, and some believe it, they cited its prevalence as evidence that it might be true - this is the trick by which the propaganda and lies they spread validates itself.

I don’t remember before Trump’s inauguration the losing Candidate refusing to accept the result, or gee-ing up her supporters to march on Congress?

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

The program to fully ostracize Trump is now a go.

Given that much of the "Trump" branded hotels and buildings are actually owned by other people and his name is licenced, expect to see many of these buildings renamed very soon.

Business is business, but expect to see anyone that does business with Trump, themselves ostracized.

It's fairly agreed that Trumps business empire is a bit of a house of cards, expect to see the cards fall.

True, Obama didn't.

However, the Democrats have never recognised the legitimacy of Trumps presidency and have done everything they possibly could to remove a democratically elected president.

Don't get me wrong, the republicans did the same with Obama, casting doubt on his status as a US citizen,

And I'm pretty sure the democrats tried and failed to impeach GWB, and Clinton was definitely impeached.

So the US has a long history of trying to remove their elected presidents, so why would anybody be surprised that we have got to this point?

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Not surprising at all, the whole country was founded on violently removing their rightful rulers.:angel:

And built upon slavery the only difference is now the people are enslaved by capitalism and a system that doesn’t represent their interests.

It’s as true when Trump says it to his supporters (the ones you see) as when Black Lives Matter leaders tell their supporters.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Impeachment is a different kettle of fish to storming Congress with weapons looking for lawmakers whilst the President demands the Vice President doesn't certify the results.

People using - albeit maybe you can call it abusing - the Democratic process to unseat a President is at least using the mechanisms legally provided to them in order to do it.

Likewise, when Trump was using the courts to try and overturn the results it was within the bounds of normality because that's what they're are there for and - as predicted - the process held firm and he didn't get anywhere.

So then he demanded the Vice President do something he isn't legally able to do and his supports resorted to violence.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Eh? The Democrats ensured a smooth handover and attended Trump's inauguration.

The Democrats have not done everything they possibly could to remove a democratically elected president. Far from it. You only have to look at Trump's call for a march on Capitol Hill and phone calls to find votes to understand what everything possible looks like.

Yes, they've held Trump to account and impeached him but thy would be negligent not to have done so. That's a world apart from Trump's efforts.
