Many believe trump stole 2016 election, but we didn't riot probably because we knew we screwed up.

Trump and Putin stole it in 2016 and all we did was gather hundreds of thousands of people in pussy

Trump won the Electoral College in 2016. Not stolen. Biden won it in 2020. Not stolen either.

No. That is a republican move. Dems didn't storm the capitol after Russia stole 2016 for dump.

Sure. I was at the protests for Bush's inauguration. That election was stolen.

There are more effective ways to protest a stolen election than foolishly storming the Capital.
