Sadly, no MAGAs were arrested in the process of this inauguration. I think that either all of the stupid ones were arrested for the January 6th coup attempt, or all of the smart ones took the hint and stayed home. I was hoping for more colourful personalities to show up today in at least one State capital and do something entertaining. 
Oh well, life goes on, I suppose. At least Trump supporters on YouTube are keeping me entertained with their somehow inability to mount even a basic counterargument.Maybe they could get new jobs in the fast-food industry as drive-through clerks...
The closest thing I can get from that crowd to a counter-argument is "get internet bruh, there are all sorts of websites with proof of *insert nonsense Trump has spouted here*". Not only do they fail to provide me with any such source as an example even after I ask them for one, but I do a simple Google search and find a string of sites discrediting whatever that is.
I hope I don't need to go to the deep web for a "credible" source "proving" these conspiracy theories. The deep web is boring as heck, and it takes forever to find much of anything that isn't drug related (which doesn't interest me). Also, I imagine these sites probably support their points of view with a lot of hearsay and other unsubstantiated claims, so it wouldn't be worth all the effort to seek them out anyways.

Most people seem to live an breath "hearsay and other unsubstantiated claims".

I believe he is trying to make a point or simply wants me to bite/react.
I have been ignoring this.
But if it gives you a modicum of satisfaction, "you go gurl".

Since I am not prepared to dedicate the next few days to research, (I am not a research hound like Brictoria, as I mentioned previously) I might do a hunt and peck when I have the energy.
Have a look at this graph.

Mate the downward trend started during Obama presidency, Trump inherited that like he inherited his father's millions.
Are you saying trump reversed the trend of prosperity!
I guess I am bad at reading graphs. [facetiousness]

It would also explain trump's mental health problems.
Humiliation isn't something that a narcissistic egomaniac can swallow easily.
I guess it might be a case of 'reaping what you sow.'
The same thing happened with the Versailles Treaty.
The same thing is happening with China* now, though that a stretch, imo.

Trump supporters indirectly blaming other people for Trump's mental health problems would be "gaslighting" surely? "It's not his fault he's a monster, you made him do it!"
Uhuh, no.
BTW, are you saying *I'm* a trump supporter?
I'm saying that anyone continuing to support Trump despite his now very obvious narcissim issues, by blaming others for his behaviour, would be on very dodgy ground.
Why the rush to assume you're being individually picked on? That's a bit "woke" for you, isn't it?
So you are saying the Democrat party didn't harass trump for 4 years?
I am simply stating the obvious.
How does that make me a trump supporter?
trump bad
Democrat harassment bad.
You think the constant destabilising of the Elected Government was beneficial to America?
What if the Republicans do the same with the Biden administration?
Would you be OK with that?

I can't see any logical integrity on either point.
Could you explain what you mean by this?
To me, it looks like a straw man premise.
My best guess is that you are being disingenuous.

So, you think that only one side can make claims?
I am still laughing how the lefties blamed the "russian bear winter freeze" on global warming.

Republicans already disrespected Obama & Biden for 8 years, why wouldn’t they do it to Biden again?

So the. Why didn’t he write “Chinese” ?
Somehow I don’t think “China*s” has an asterisk in it because it’s a respectful label for Chinese citizens. Seems like a derogatory name referencing Chinese people. Amiright?

You aren't saying *both* sides of the political divide act badly, are you?
That is very centralist of you.

He didn't have to, The reduced poverty is due to heavy spending by Obama to stimulate the economy during a GFC. Despite enormous opposition by the GOP (and Trump) the stimulus worked and kick started the growth that Trump swooped down and claimed as his in 2016. He made a false claim that economy/stock market reacted to his leadership but the truth is his policies had nothing to do with the growth in economy, increase in employment and reduction in poverty.
