David Frum, former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, wrote in 2018, “If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.”
...that's not your typical 'no new taxes' kind of conservatism, David, that's just fascism.

When dems lost the election in 2016, did you accept that, or did you riot and kill and "resist" with complete disregard for the law?
Rhetorical question.

Ah yes, the infamous violent protests of November 2016...
The raw divisions exposed by the presidential race were on full display across the US on Wednesday, as protesters flooded city streets to condemn Donald Trump's election in demonstrations that police said were mostly peaceful.
From New England to heartland cities like Kansas City and along the West Coast, many thousands of demonstrators carried flags and anti-Trump signs, disrupting traffic and declaring that they refused to accept Trump's triumph.
In Chicago, where thousands had recently poured into the streets to celebrate the Chicago Cubs' first World Series victory in over a century, several thousand people marched through the Loop. They gathered outside Trump Tower, chanting "Not my president!"
A similar protest in Manhattan drew about 1,000 people. Outside Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in midtown, police installed barricades to keep the demonstrators at bay.
Hundreds of protesters gathered near Philadelphia's City Hall despite chilly, wet weather. Participants - who included both supporters of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who lost to Clinton in the primary - expressed anger at both Republicans and Democrats over the election's outcome.
In Boston, thousands of anti-Trump protesters streamed through downtown, chanting "Trump's a racist" and carrying signs that said "Impeach Trump" and "Abolish Electoral College." Clinton appears to be on pace to win the popular vote, despite losing the electoral count that decides the presidential race.
A protest that began at the Minnesota State Capitol Tuesday night with about 100 people swelled at it moved into downtown St. Paul, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported. Protesters blocked downtown streets and traveled west on University Avenue where they shouted expletives about Trump in English and Spanish.
Marchers protesting Trump's election chanted and carried signs in front of the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.
Media outlets broadcast video Wednesday night showing a peaceful crowd in front of the new downtown hotel. Many chanted "No racist USA, no Trump, no KKK."
Another group stood outside the White House. They held candles, listened to speeches and sang songs.

LMAO, how convenient that you pick that particular article so you can highlight whatever fits your narrative.
You can easily do an online query based on your own sentence of “violent protests of November 2016” and there are numerous other articles that show the bigger picture of those “violent protests.”
They began peacefully and descended into violent riots of burning, looting, vandalizing, etc.

Not to mention, I was clearly referring to Trump's entire term not just NOVERMBER.

Yes, but he had to choose the Nov-2016 so he can conveniently emphasize those specific words in an inept attempt to change the facts, lol.
Leftoids, what else can you expect from them.

I just don't understand how you can THINK about ways to be trickly and not realize thath the fact that you need to be tricky, means that you are on the wrong side of the argument.
The lack of self awareness, it... hurts me to think that humans can be so dim witted.
