CNN reporter Donie O’Sullivan traveled to former President Donald Trump’s weekend rally in Ohio and spoke to some of his supporters who warned of more violence like that witnessed at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
In a CNN clip posted to his Twitter page, O’Sullivan interviewed one Trump supporter who was convinced the former president would be reinstated by August. He espoused a fictional conspiracy theory holding that the “military” already knows Trump won the 2020 election by “over 80 percent.”
“He’s coming back,” the supporter said.
“And what if that doesn’t happen?” asked O’Sullivan, pointing out that the Constitution doesn’t have a mechanism to “reinstate” a defeated president.

Some people, ignore fact. They are called “party adherents” and forcing their own way at all costs feeds their ego, and satisfies their narcissistic leader. Like ticks on a dog.
Donald Trump was documented lying 35,000 times during his time in office. He has been recorded inciting a deadly insurrection at our Capitol.

I don’t understand why.
But the following video speaks of two reasons why for anyone with common sense. GREED AND HATRED. https://youtu.be/AmIHSeBCq5A
Maybe the civil war advocates should watch videos of the wars in Syria or Libya or read, a truly novel idea, the well documented history of the violence during the during the recently lamented “War of Northern Aggression” (snark intended).
