@MontereyJack,
I was agreeing with your previous statement that Trump has used all legal means available.
I don't believe that anybody thought that they could forcibly keep Trump in office on January 21. They simply saw the summer rioters get away with violence and they decided to do the same.
The biggest problem is that there is a big division in this country. We are a country in trouble. Our constitutional rights are being taken away from us.
By the way in your conversation with Ollie, you missed two facts:
(1) Republicans GAINED seats in the House
(2) The Senate is evenly split (although the VP will cast the deciding vote if there is a tie).
