If you wish to divert from the discussion of whether free and fair elections is still possible in the USA, and would rather enter the meta-discussion, I'll bite, and cite Wikipedia:

I mean, the comment is based on what the VP of this administration said about the President.

And I think considering what this administration has said is important. Do you think otherwise?

Ahh, so this is how you stifle the warnings and discontent with the fascist capture of the government? The evidence doesn't matter as long as it's possible to derail the discussion?

Let me guess, similarly you apply "conspiracy theory" to anything you want to kneecap, is that right?

Very mature indeed.
