Thank you. Same situation occuring with the exagerated outrage over the 2020 election shenanigans and resulting riot at the capitol.

Not a great look for the US by any means, but the whole chapter is a joke compared to past election turmoil, especially during reconstruction era post Civil War. In those years, you often had large armed militias battling it out with occupying federal troops over which election results.
