Whether the suspicion is valid or not isnt the point. Enough people think it is that it is worth a proper investigation even if i personally doubt it would uncover anything. It was negligent not to do those investigations to the extend that the public demanded them.

@SecondJon What caused the violence from the right is the same thing that causes the violence from the left... not being heard.

I dont think the elections were rigged, but a huge number of people do. There should have been serious and hard hitting investigations, the result of which would have likely shown there was no fraud. But to completely dismiss it to the point of not even investigating stokes the fires and the end result is what we have here.

It is no different than the riots around police brutality, no one was listening and police werent being tried for their crimes and no serious investigation into their wrong doings were being held, so people rioted because they felt they werent being heard or considered.

@SecondJon The bigger issue to me is that he didnt ask the people who stormed the capitol to be violent and in fact once there were signs of them being violent he got on the official tv broadcast for potus and told them to stop being violent and go home...

So even if we condemn what happened at the capital it is clear that trump was against the violence and asked for it to stop.

With that said trying to force his removal is more likely to incite violence than to stop it.
