These people aren't "unheard Americans", they aren't REALLY protesting that

Had Donald Trump won, then four years from now, the Capitol would be in the same place as it is today.

Just replace "LOSS to Biden" with "We want to get rid of the 22nd Amendment", "Trump should be President-for-life", "dissolve Congress", etc.

And then add 4 years of militias forming and training, of stockpiling guns, of making bombs, of casing Congress, and of getting indoctrinated in murdering people. For all we know, that might have given them time to get a small nuclear device into the halls of Congress. They could succeed if they had 4 years of training and developing.

Every day as January 20 approaches, I am more and more secure in my conviction that the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris saved the country.

You have painted the picture, a chilling and accurate one.

Trump has said a number of times he deserved 12 yrs in office because he was cheated out of 4 yrs due to the impeachment. At the end of 12 years he would have another reason to have 4 more years.

You get rid of the pesky other branches of government which do not do your bidding.
Today the Capitol, tomorrow the SC building.

Yes it is more and more clear we have been saved from a terrible fate.
But we are a damaged country and people as it is from 4 yrs of Trump.
