Is there ANY credible evidence of fraud, anywhere? Or are people protesting solely because they trust Trump?

Without hyperbole, this is textbook fascism.

Yes. Armed protestors storming the capitol and taking over the legislative chambers at the request of the defeated president is 100% a literal coup.

I am shocked and horrified that it is taking so long to clear those who have breached the Capitol. There is more police efficiency and aggression in a run of the mill BLM protest.
