The Capitol was the focal point of the protest due to the location and in this case the perceived injustice of the election. When almost half the voting population thinks there is something wrong with the election, maybe its time to listen to those people. If anything I think the hivemind and unemployed young people showing frustration was the spark that ignited what happened yesterday.
I am not trying to justify it as good or bad, but it was not a coup by a long shot and you cant haphazardly label it as such.
- apocalypstyx 6y agoThere are times when I try my upmost be very careful with my language. And this is one of them: What was undertaken on Jan. 6th was an attempted coup. It was insurrection. It was sedition. I refuse to allow that fact to be downplayed or obfuscated. https://www.politifact.com/article/2021/jan/06/coup-heres-some-history-and-context-help-you-decid/ https://www.politifact.com/article/2021/jan/06/coup-heres-so...

- dwaltrip 6y agoThe perceived injustice of the election only exists thanks to a massive, baseless propaganda campaign led by President Trump himself. The courts have "listened" to the "claims of injustice". They found nothing of merit. It's over. Trump lost, fair and square. His inability to handle the loss and his disregard for our democracy has wreaked havoc across the nation.
