Um, no.

The dude already tried to throw out the result of an election and, after failing to do so via the courts, incited a riot at the Capitol and cooked up a scheme involving fake electors (with no votes authorizing them) to try and overturn it through extralegal means. Then he lied about it, and didn't even attend the inauguration of the adminsitration that succeeded him, like every president has since the Civil War.

Nothing Harris has done or promises to do remotely endangers the republic to the same degree those actions do.

It's hard to imagine a greater threat to the republic than inviting 10,000,000 more migrants to cross the border when we're already $34,000,000,000,000 in debt. These people couldn't care less about our republic. Trump had every reason to doubt the results in 2020 given that the opposition spent 3 years framing him with Russiagate, plus two impeachments.

He has every right to doubt them--he doesn't have a right to try to illegally overturn it and incite mobs into riots at the capitol as part of the effort, especially after he's had his day in court and the courts have unanimously said "Sorry, but given the facts you've presented...it's still clear you lost".

And given that illegal immigration rose under him until the pandemic drove unemployment up to 20%, you're not exactly bolstering your case for him here...

We were talking about "threats to the republic." Can you explain why Biden/Harris facilitated the entry into our country of 10,000,000 people, many of unknown origin? Maybe because they are only pretending to work for America. Please wake up.

In what universe is the attempt to illegally throw out a free and fair election, and the man who attempted to do so, *not* a "threat to the republic"? Particularly when said individual is the presidential nominee of one of the major parties and will not commit to accepting the outcome of the next election?

"Free and Fair." Did you first hear that from Joy Reid or Anderson Cooper?

Trump tried, failed, and walked away. It was over in a few weeks. The Republic was in no danger. On the other hand, we have a party that is pushing to end the American experiment by changing the Constitution, opening our borders, and leaving the American people behind in favor of the cultural wrecking ball that is globalism.
