See the difference?

Trump lost the 2020 presidential election by a Electoral College result of 306 for Biden to 232 for Trump.  He lost the popular vote 46.96% vs 51.33%.

Trump won the 2016 presidential election by the same electoral college result but lost the popular vote by getting 46.1% vs 48.1% for Hillary Clinton.

The losing sides for each was shocked and dismayed.  How did each respond?  Take a look.

2016 - the million womens' march poured hundreds and hundreds of thousands of women, many wearing "pink pussy hats", into the streets of DC and every city across the nation and many around the world.  See photos below.

2020 - at Trump's instigation, about thirty or forty thousand rioters showed up in DC and stormed the Capitol and breached the defenses to force the cessation of the Senators and Congress members from tallying the winning Electoral College votes that certified Biden's win.  This is the first such breach of the Capitol since the British invasion of 1812.  See photos below.

Trump eventually told his cult to go home, but only after telling them that he loved them and declaring that he had won a landslide victory.

This is Trump's legacy, right next to his incompetent response to the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in the loss of about 200,000 people who would have lived had he led a national response to the disease.  

These are his final images.  Images of eternal disgracce, a disgrace shared by the horrible Senators, Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, who decided to contest the results of two states who voted for Biden.  They forced Congress to debate the meritless claims of voting fraud.  They did it as a fundraising ploy for their planned presidential runs in 2024.  By the way, four people died in the melee yesterday.  Disgusting.

By the way, I am really getting tired of looking at the traitorous Confederate flag.
