So you're saying, BBWH, that Buchanan let the country "drift toward Civil War" but is that worse than inciting a treasonous insurrection to try to steal an election, overturn the US government, and effectively INCITE a 21st century civil war? Uhh, maybe what Trump did was FAR worse!
You DID see, I assume, that many of the right-wing loonies who attacked the Capitol wore t-shirts that said "civil war"? You DID, I assume, see the female loonie who was maced and said that she was there for the (HER word) "revolution"? You DID, I assume, see the Trump posters and Confederate flags that the loonies were brandishing? You DID, I assume, hear that many of the treasonous right-wing wack jobs were saying that they wanted to hang the vice president and assassinate the speaker of the house? You DID, I assume, read that Trump, after having INVITED these idiots there and after having URGED them (along with Rudy and DJTJ) to go there, did NOTHING to stop things for a lengthy period of time because he was enjoying watching the treasonous attack on TV? You DID, I assume, read that he FINALLY urged the traitors to stop only after repeated warnings from his advisers that HE would be in trouble if he did nothing?
But...oh yeah... Buchanan allowed a "drift". Yeah, right...whatever rocks your boat!
