We would have a funeral for Pelosi, but democracy would be no closer to dying. And while it's a tragedy for anyone to be murdered, hype about it "nearly killed democracy" is just inflammatory.

If pelosi were murdered (and potentially other senators too)

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”
