There is no question that the right has completely whitewashed Jan 6th with the base. It doesn’t even matter what falsehood is used. The bottom line is that it is not a biggie whatsoever to them. No strike against Trump at all.

RE: No whitewashing needed. The protesters brought flags and were asked to protest peacefully.

FBI riled them up, not Trump.

But what if those lawmakers like Pelosi did not get out on time? What if all those liberal lawmakers were trapped as the mob entered with zip ties after beating police?

RE: laughable. we have video from inside. people enjoying themselves, well, one girl got gunned down do you remeber her name?

And let’s say some lawmakers were beaten, tied up or even killed? Would that have changed anything today?

RE: Well, we can start by saying none were, which is the truth.

Or would we be where we are today where Trump bears zero responsibility to the Trump voters.

Dude, I would like to be able to agree with you. I WANT Biden to be well enough to be President again for 4 years, but the debate showed that he is not. A President has to be able to respond to questions, not just give a speech. It wasn't just a bad night. He did so poorly that he lost to a guy who lied about everything he said...and ONLY because Biden was not all there.

The above said, I will vote for Biden over Trump if he is still the nominee. Those around him will do the right thing if necessary in a second term, and our democracy isn't at risk with a Democrat in the White House (though the Supreme Court sure is doing its best to attack our democracy).

I am a facts-based guy, and I don't lie or sugar coat anything. Biden should step aside. He's not well enough to be President again for 4 years.

That’s idiotic. You base this on 90 minutes. He has been energetic and coherent before the debate and after the debate. He was sick with a cold during the debate and you think he is infirmed. Stay off the Faux News. People he works with say nothing has changed in 3.5 years. Foreign leaders say they can’t keep up with him physically or mentally.

What do you think would have happened? Do you think that mob would have been content just debating or screaming at the lawmakers?

And let’s say some lawmakers were beaten, tied up or even killed? Would that have changed anything today?

Or would we be where we are today where Trump bears zero responsibility to the Trump voters.

Thought experiments are usually best when they come separate from political points of view, not with a heaping help of them. You lost me at "whitewashed."

You can find me here with: we don't know the answer, and it isn't as obvious as you think it is. The last major political assassination attempt in this country happened in the 1980s. Unless you count the guy who peed himself and immediately turned himself in in front of Kavaanagh's private residence...which I don't.
