Dude, they literally took the Capitol building in an attempt to prevent the election results from being certified. If the GOP didn't want to back Trump after that I'd respect that. But they fell in line. They're okay with that. Which means they are not okay with democracy. There's no democracy without free elections.

Do you think I'm defending the GOP?

Well you're either defending them or defending tolerance of them. So take your pick.

No, I'm accusing your "things used to be better" rhetoric for being the same as their "make America great again" rhetoric.
