There is no organization. There is no plan. There is no sign of a premeditated attempt to overthrow the government. There is just a mob of angry rioters barging into a government building.
I'm curious what you believe constitutes a coup.
- wtfiswiththis 6y agoTrump organized the mob down the street from the capitol building. He timed his speech to end at 1pm when the tally started. Then he told the mob to go to the building to intimidate "weak" Republicans into doing "the right thing."
- f-securus 6y agoDid you hear the rhetoric coming from Don Jr, Giuliani and Trump during the morning of the rally? Certainly sounded like they were calling for action... the opposite of what they tweeted after the lady lost her life in the capital building. No way this protest/mob happens without Trump gassing them up for months without evidence. Trump has disgraced this nation and some of his loyalists are hoping for civil war (as made clear by there custom made ‘MAGA 1/6/21 civil war’ t shirts).
