Hi Mccoy,
Trump actually asked people to go home, and peacefully. He asked people to respect the law. It was a coup- and there was no help from people like Nancy Pelosi. We have proof there were FBI insiders leading the charge. Fact checkers will tell you that Trumps claims are bogus, like requesting additional troops for January 6th. But as you can see in this thread, fact checkers are not the ultimate authority. Take this image for example,
I remember a time fact checkers were saying things that were solely in place to defend mask mandates and lockdowns. Fact checkers aren't here to tell you the truth.

PROLOGUE: THE INFORMATION WAR
In 1950, Sen. Joseph McCarthy claimed that he had proof of a communist spy ring operating inside the government. Overnight, the explosive accusations blew up in the national press, but the details kept changing. Initially, McCarthy said he had a list with the names of 205 communists in the State Department; the next day he revised it to 57. Since he kept the list a secret, the inconsistencies were beside the point. The point was the power of the accusation, which made McCarthy’s name synonymous with the politics of the era.
For more than half a century, McCarthyism stood as a defining chapter in the worldview of American liberals: a warning about the dangerous allure of blacklists, witch hunts, and demagogues.
Until 2017, that is, when another list of alleged Russian agents roiled the American press and political class. A new outfit called Hamilton 68 claimed to have discovered hundreds of Russian-affiliated accounts that had infiltrated Twitter to sow chaos and help Donald Trump win the election. Russia stood accused of hacking social media platforms, the new centers of power, and using them to covertly direct events inside the United States.
None of it was true. After reviewing Hamilton 68’s secret list, Twitter’s safety officer, Yoel Roth, privately admitted that his company was allowing “real people” to be “unilaterally labeled Russian stooges without evidence or recourse.”
The Hamilton 68 episode played out as a nearly shot-for-shot remake of the McCarthy affair, with one important difference: McCarthy faced some resistance from leading journalists as well as from the U.S. intelligence agencies and his fellow members of Congress. In our time, those same groups lined up to support the new secret lists and attack anyone who questioned them.

I will still vote, and I am hoping for RFK JR. But I do not rule out Trump as a contender. Who knows if he will even get his chance.
The best thing we can do, with presidencies and covid tyranny, is pray for discernment and learn to listen to our intuition. I am ashamed to admit that I sometimes defy my own intuition, and the results are usually a misery making experience as a result of satisfying some lesser desire. I do hope this year... Right now, I can hone my discernment and really trust my intuition. My intuition is an incredible power. Yours is too. But I don't think I've taken the time to learn how to develop and grow alongside it. So... Now is such an opportunity.
Thank you for sharing Dr. John Ioannidis, seems death threats come about by speaking truth. How unfortunate.
