Al Gore won the popular vote, but there was some sketchiness down in Florida. During a recount, Roger Stone rallied the troops (Brooks Brothers riot) which caused the counting to be stopped, due to threats of violence. Setting up the supreme Court to decide Bush won Florida.

Damn that sounds really really familiar. Almost like it happened just a couple years ago.

It’s why they project so hard about Democrats cheating elections.

The Republicans have been for decades. And can’t stand sometimes enough people show up that they still lose.

LOL yep. Constantly the conservatives manage to take their own manufactured outrage turn it into violence and then turn out the results they want.

Apparently burning down the Reichstag still works if you have the power to seize the moment.
