Who violently overthrew Congress? Gaslighting doesn't help your argument.

Is the "markeptplace of ideas" like when the Media and the DNC incited mass riots for eight full months before the 2019 election, mass-terrorizing American voters? To what end? To make sure there was a "fair trial" (note: this assured the opposite)? Or to make sure that the preferred candidate was elected? Again, by targeting American voters.

Who's gaslighting who?

I recall a certain January 6 even to which the convicted criminals Elaine Stefanik refers to as "Hostages".

Who are you talking about?

That was when they almost burned down the White House Jefferson Church. Was a dark day for our sacred Democracy.

When was Congress overthrown? Which Congresspeople were harmed? Which Grandmas with American flags, now with criminal records, meant to take over the US government?

Yes, there are a lot of people in prison. They have been subject to norm-breaking prosecution under the opposition party's adminstration. Whenever an opposition party decides to arrest and prosecute its competition, they try to deflect from the authoritarian fact and deride those people as crimimnals as much as possible. This is the playbook for every tin-pot dictator since Sumer.

And in this instance, the authoritarians in question rode into office on eight months of nation-shattering street terrorism that their party incited and protected. Of course, the dictators proclaim those riots as perfectly legitimate and that of their competition as criminal. See: Tin Pot Dictator.
