A lot of the discourse around January 6th revolves around whether Trump incited the violence. So much so that the inherent premise of the protest itself goes ignored sometimes. The protestors were there to pressure Pence out of certifying Biden's win, effectively stealing the election.
This was the impetus for me leaving the Republican party, after having been conservative for a long time. I was surprised so many still supported him after the fake elector plot and his pressure campaign in swing states to get them to obstruct the election results on his behalf, culminating in him pressuring Mike Pence to do the same (using the fake elector slates as a pretense).
What did you think of Trump's actions after the election?
I think he was being hyperbolic about āfightingā and it got out of hand. Overall, I think Trump was just given bad legal advice and was willing to pursue it because he was worried that the integrity of the election had been compromised.

I think it can be hard to tell when heās just verbally sparring, trying to score political points, just like 90% of politicians do in some form or anotherā¦and when heās actually serious. I think that comes from his kind of off-the-cuff delivery.
