Their government recognizes what these criminals did as some form of legitimate protest.
The last few months have highlighted the difference between red and blue state America.
Perhaps those negatively impacted by this lawlessness and the draconian lock-down policies would do well to remember this in November and vote accordingly.
I doubt they will, but you never know.
People in flyover country are armed and willing to protect themselves.
How people vote in November won’t matter much. The Democrat governors will have mail in Voting in the Democrat states so those statewide majorities in those states that go for Trump that would naturally occur will not be registered. In all the Republican states there are big cities that are Democrat ruled and Democrats count the votes in them and report last so they can add whatever numbers are required. I would not be surprised to see a 50 state Democrat blowout in November and the Republicans will shrug and say, “well, better luck next time.”
