I told one lefty "They should have set the capitol on fire, torn down the statues, looted the entire building, overturned and burned cars, and killed a couple of dozen people - then instead of an insurrection, it would've been a mostly peaceful protest."

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

"Oh, this isn't a good place to end up shouting at each other.  Besides, I already decided and mailed in my ballot yesterday.  Have you sent in all of your ballots yet?"
