I'm wondering if they're EITHER the same person or if they've maybe made out once or twice.

Bro.

Term limits, another democratic norm on the chopping block?

Wait, so which part is opinion, the part about Trump subverting the 2020 election, or that doing so increases his likelihood of doing it again?

Gern, I don't think he's saying that in order to support a functional democracy, you need to agree with him; I think he's saying that in order to support a functional democracy you need to agree with the facts that he has presented. Although I respect your tone and civility, it feels a little...
