    I’m not saying use it anytime. I’m saying Biden should have used it to eliminate Trump and his followers as an existential threat to our nation

    Ok, so there’s a lot wrong with this line of thinking.

    First of all, it’s literally the same argument that Trump and his followers are using to justify him doing all the stuff you think Democrats should have done to stop him from doing all the stuff you think is bad. It’s the worst kind.of logical fallacy. You are advocating for the same thing you are saying is a problem.

    And how exactly would you “eliminate Trump’s followers”? By suspending their Constitutional rights, as well? How many millions of people would you have to throw in jail for thought crimes, before that “existential threat to our nation” was “eliminated”? How would you silence them, when they correctly point out that you are the problem now? Would you suspend the Constitution in order to shut them up…or just kill them, and be done with it?

    Not sure how that is a problem with my logic when Trump is literally doing all these things because he was not stopped.

    Imagine we’re all heading for a cliff, and you know that Trump wants to drive the bus straight off that cliff. How does letting Democrats drive off that cliff first, stop the bus from going over?
