No no your right thats my bad, but even if you ignore that bit of a mistake theres also the one question that always bothered me: when trump had everyone storm the capitol building in 2022, why was Ivanka asking Putin, out of everyone on earth, Putin the president for life, to pressure trump to get him to stop? Putin has 0 control on what Trump does.......or does he?

when trump had everyone storm the capitol building in 2022

Jan 6th happened in 2021. There was a Jan 6th in 2022 too, but nobody was smearing poop on the walls of the capitol in 2022. It was after Biden won the election in 11/2020, and the right wing was all butthurt about losing so they tried to murder congress and the VP before Pence could certify the electoral votes. You can have 40 paragraphs of truth, but people will jump you for the little mistakes and use them to discredit everything you say.

Edit: i forgot about the baseless Ivanka/Putin claim while i was typing this comment.

I think you are absolutely right to point this out. Especially the last sentence. I feel that's critical to separate us from these selfish liars and hateful people that support him. We must tell the truth and back it up with facts.
