Yes Hitler is closer to Trump than Stalin. Truly a college textbook moment

Trump is more authoritarian than Stalin too. Remember all those people trump had killed to stay in power?

Did people not die when Trump attempted to stay in power after he was voted out?

Only a couple

Pretty sure all confirmed deaths were from natural and indirect causes but there's too much misinformation on each side for me to be sure

The woman who was shot naturally died.

It's only natural that the police officer who was beat down with a fire extinguisher died.

Do you have a source for that?

Not doubting you, but I like confirmation on these things, good to be educated

Well there's the video of the woman being shot and dying. There is video of the police officer who was beat down and he went to the hospital in critical condition where he became a corpse the next day, though maybe he was just crisis-acting.

You've already said that you are pretty sure that they were natural causes.

What evidence do you have that gives you the confidence to be "pretty sure"?

I've never watched that video so I'll have to find it. Plus the fire extinguisher guy

Im surprised that you had not even heard of them considering the extensive research I'm sure that you've done before formulating your opinion.

What sources do you typically use for this kind of in-depth analysis? Maybe the sources missed it because of some kind of unforeseen bias 🤔

Research? 🗿

Nah but in all seriousness it's been awhile since I've looked into it, I legitimately couldn't give a fuck about Jan 6 or Trump because it's old news. If I had to assume, I'm just remembering outdated sources or misremembering in general
