A US president lost an election and tried to overthrow a democratic elected government, people died defending the rule of law. Is that what you call fear-mongering?

So instead of justifying your assertion that Trump voters want to make the USA exactly like Saudi Arabia, you changed the topic to a matter of election security. You haven't done much to assuage the parent comment's claim that these fears are delusional. Asking for an investigation to ensure the integrity of the election does not equal an overthrow of a democratically elected government.

Don't think that your careful wording around "people died defending" helps conceal the reach you're making. ONE "defending" police officer died of a heart attack - no court of law would hold someone responsible for a death like that. The three other deaths were pro-Trump protesters fighting for a fair election. I watched members of a certain political party mock the deaths of Trump supporters while they happened live on January 6th - who was it you were saying wanted the US to be more like Saudi Arabia?

Uff...You have to live on hyper-strong 4D reality distortion field, out of all common sense proportions to even entertain the election theories of these groups.

Theories dismissed by own Republican officials in Georgia. By Attorney General William Barr who worked for Reagan, Bush, and was nominated by Trump...

Fortunately soon we will have a live YouTube trial. The proponents of these theories will be able to provide the evidence they have been claiming, exists for 2 years and nobody was able to see.

Trump voters want to turn the USA into a Saudi Arabia by not minding to elect criminal, lying, could-not-care-less, officials in a fraudulent way, just because...and note ...just because...they somehow endorse his life view. It's the same in Saudi Arabia, were I had the chance to work. You get by based on the tribe, and family, you belong to. Everything else is secondary.

It's the most abject of Moral and Ethical standpoints. To support on a personal level, a fraudulent candidate reflects poorly on one's moral and ethical values. It's essentially saying that the ends justify the means, no matter how dishonest those means might be. To have a democracy, and use those privileges, to put forward support for a candidate willing to undermine that same system,must be the worst moral sin.

And even worst...To entertain conspiracy theories no sane person, from even your own political side, has given even the minimum credit, must require a special kind of individual, one let's say...A few sandwiches short of a picnic...

Spot on.
