I have been a yuge Trump supporter, vocally especially online, since 2015. I do believe there were irregularities in the election, maybe not top down organized. I definitely don't think Biden had a landslide mandate, as Trump had more votes than 2016 and only lost by 8k votes here, 25k votes there.
But he lost me when he told his supporters to march to the Capitol. They did what he wanted them to do. They showed they loved him and would die for him. And now MAGA are terrorists, supporting Trump is sedition, and his policies are hate speech.
He has set populism back 100 years. He could have went to that rally and said "I won, we know it, but they stole the election. But that won't stop us from Making America Great. That's why right now I am declaring the formation of a new political party, the MAGA party. It will be made up of YOU. We will spend the next 4 years putting people in local office, state offices, governors, Congress. And in 4 years we will run a terrific candidate for President. Maybe it will be me, maybe it won't, but they will have my full support and be chosen by YOU. Now go over there, sign up, and we're not going to let them bring us down. Let them have their party on the 20th, we'll celebrate today."
Then break out the burgers and hot dogs and have people party instead of riot. He could have remained relevant, instead he trashed his legacy and Presidency in a day. Now anything he supported will be considered evil anti-American terrorism and hate including:
-populism
-civic nationalism
-America first
-patriotism
-anti-corporatism
-anti-Big Tech
-anti-media
-being against Party Elites controlling who runs for office
-wanting borders and enforcement of existing immigration laws
-anti-Globalism
-covfefe
