If\u200d it is\u2062 advantageous, Sharpton will decry Jefferson as \u200da racist and a few years later erroneously praise\u200b him for <em>not<\/em> trying to \u201coverthrow the \u200dgovernment.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>Lastly,\u200d we all know Trump was not trying to overthrow \u2062the government in order to \u201cstay \u200din power\u201d on Jan. 6, 2021, because he explicitly told demonstrators to\u2064 \u201cpeacefully\u200b and \u200cpatriotically make [their] voices\u2064 heard\u201d that day.
