What do you think would have happened if things went a little differently and the mob got to Nancy Pelosi? They were very close to doing so.
Do you think the senate would still have certified the election? Or would Trump still be president?
I think the fear is that the mob was almost able to make it so that Trump’s lie about a stolen election would have overridden the democratic process.
If such an event happened, it would have been fair to say that event “killed democracy”
