Trump was still president at the time. Who were they seizing power from?
Your description would make more sense if they had done it after Biden was president, but they didn't.
- sofixa 5y agoThey tried to seize power by overturning the pending confirmation of election results. The legitimacy of Trump was him getting elected, him refusing to let go would be seizing power.
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoThere's this thing called an "auto-coup". It's where the one currently in power seizes power that he does not legitimately have, in order to avoid handing over power to the one who beat him in an election. Trump either was trying to do that, or came very close to trying (depending on how you draw your lines).
