So now you think the LIES (plural) were "believable." That explains your empathy with the protesters, but still only makes the beliefs sincere.
Most people--especially you--did not subscribe to my "doomsaying" in 2020 that Trump was not likely to leave office peacefully, per the 250 year norm.
You thought my views then were "extreme" then, quite mock worthy.
Here we are on the verge of another Trump presidency, in which will he have immunity from criminal liability for ambiguously bounded "core duties",
and your target is "doomsayers" and people who "overstate" the coup attempt which established Trump's willingness to break the law to retain power.
Because democracy will be just fine no matter what. Sure.
