    I don’t disagree but the court of public opinion would. And doing this would give grounds for the next president that comes along like Trump to just shoot their political opponents.

      If the next opponent straight up said they’d be dictator on day one, and people wouldn’t need to vote ever again, after leading a violent insurrection attempt, I’d fully support them being executed for sedition and treason.

      The point is there’s not going to be another opponent, and that’s what Biden needs to stop.

        I would too. But the majority of voters seem to think Trump was just joking when he said those things. And the voters get to decide what politicians get away with.
