JD Vance was asked if he would have certified the vote
"I would have asked the states to submit alternative slates of electors and ask the country to have a debate"
This is illegal.
How is this election even close?

Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) has just released results of a new survey of 5,000+ Americans. The survey finds that four in ten Americans are susceptible to authoritarian appeals, and that number rises to two-thirds of Republicans, white evangelical Protestants, and weekly churchgoers. Why can many of us listen to Trump's unhinged, dangerous, bloody rants and applaud? 👆🏼 #Trump #Republicans #WhiteEvangelicals #authoritarianism /2
