The meme has been liked nearly 9,000 times and shared 2,400 times as of Monday. In reaction to Mr Trump’s repost, journalist Aaron Rupar sarcastically wrote on Twitter: “rubbing my last 2 brain cells together as I try to remember who ran the government on January 6.”

The former president shared the meme despite a House committee that investigated January 6 declaring Mr Trump the “central cause” of the day’s events. “None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him,” the House panel wrote in its final report.

    Eh, me too. And check my account if you think I’m an astroturf.

    There were a lot of Democrats who switched after seeing what the DMC did to Bernie Sanders. I will personally never vote for the Democrats going forward

      Being angry over how the DNC handled the 2016 primaries, having been in favor of Sanders, is one thing; embracing the Republican party is quite another. The second does not reasonably follow from the first. Republican politics is in direct opposition to pretty much anything Bernie Sanders has ever said.

      I thought everyone gave up trying push the #walkaway bullshit years ago when they realized no one was buying it.

          Because “wahh they treated my favorite socialist grandpa poorly so I’m going to vote for the christofacists instead” is not a reasonable position that any actual human being would take.

          You’re at best a team player who was upset his team lost and jumped ship to the last team left that could beat the team who beat you.

            I hate to say it, but it did happen, now I was pissed at what the dmc did to Bernie too, but I could of never brought myself to vote for trump, but also I couldn’t bring myself to vote for Hillary after that, so I abstained during the general, looking back I wish I hadn’t and I had just voted for Hillary, although I doubt it would of done anything because I’m pretty sure Hillary won in my area anyway.

          Nope I literally can’t fathom that anyone who supported Bernie Sanders’ policies would throw away everything they believe and vote for literally the complete opposite.

          Or maybe this isn’t astroturfing and you’re just a fucking idiot.

            There weren’t any other candidates who I believed could uphold his policies. Furthermore, I have no faith that any candidate supported by the DNC would support his policies, so I’m not going to waste my vote on it

          Different views I get. Monumentally stupid ones I do have trouble with though. I also generally tend to doubt flat earthers and the “birds aren’t real” folks are serious if that helps as a benchmark.

      Yeah I knew a guy like this. I told him Sanders himself would slap him in the face if he could. FWIW I thinks theres plenty of evidence the DNC stole the primary from Sanders.

      Voting for Trump to punish the DNC does not make strategic sense at all. The DNC establishment is rich and they benefitted from his tax breaks. The GOP accomplished destroying SCOTUS, abortion rights, and damn near NATO itself.

      Does the DNC get hurt from that? Nah. It was always a childish, emotional decision to vote for Trump to punish the DNC for its primary. The way you punish them is by building ranked choice voting your goddamn self and many states have - but that doesn’t provide instant, self-righteous gratification for very little effort like voting for Trump did.
