You've been looking in the wrong direction, the dangers are coming from the right.

Trumpism comes inherently from the right.

This isn't about "rejecting the right in general" this is about "dangers coming from the right."

I'm not sure what you're getting this framing from. You made it about Trump specifically, I was just refuting your bullshit claim that the 'few hundred people who stormed the capitol' were not a danger of some kind, when in fact, they will be taking their seats in January.

So you're saying the Ukraine war is over because the Russians withdrew from the middle ground of the fight?

That's the level of logical absurdness in that argument.

Danger is of course still coming from the right - these people who lost their seats didn't evaporate. Their tens of millions of voters didn't disappear either, and they have foothold now in the House of Representatives. That, clearly, is a danger. And those are just the ones who were at the storming of the capitol, if you want to talk about the right in general, let's:

[A]t least 60% of the Republican candidates who raised unfounded doubts about the validity or integrity of the 2020 election results — 185 of 308 — are projected to win their midterm races so far. Candidates deemed by CBS News to be election deniers have one or more of these characteristics:

• Said they believe the 2020 election was stolen;
• Repeated disproven claims of widespread voter fraud in 2020;
• Supported a type of post 2020-audit, sometimes following recounts or canvassing;
• Signed onto the Texas lawsuit looking to overturn the 2020 election results in several battleground states;
• Objected to certify the 2020 electoral college results in Arizona and Pennsylvania on Jan. 6, 2021; or
• Have at least once, if not more, been unclear when asked if they believe President Joe Biden was legitimately elected.

That list includes my own congressman, who did not physically storm the capitol yet facilitated every aspect of the effort, incl. signing on to various lawsuits, and voting to object to certification hours after blood was spilled out in the hallway over claims he helped broadcast, that the election was 'rigged' and Biden was not lawfully elected.

The Democrats are also a right wing party, a little less right than the republicans. The US is traditionally a right wing dominated country.

Fuck me.

The mental gymnastics being employed to simply avoid the bloody obvious about which side of the political aisle Trump supporters sit on is just astounding.

And yet, 2 are going to Congress next month.
