I think that’s the parents point one can endorse specific policies from a person without necessarily endorsing everything else. Btw that’s the beauty of democracy- people made their choices and can still voice their concerns even after the election. Contrast that with Venezuela, China or Russia mentioned in the article.

Genuinely, this was likely our last fair election

This a very naive take.

The promised retribution against people who voiced concerns (ie, the Jan 6 Committee) is just beginning.

The committee was itself politically one sided retribution - how else do you explain the lack of action on BLM riots and destruction in 2020, which was far larger in scale than Jan 6? The previous administration also practiced lawfare extensively against Trump and Musk, along with politicians at the state level as well. There is far more evidence of retribution from the other side, frankly.
