There is no "mushy middle ground" when it comes to a coupe attempt at the capitol building. Sorry but you are simply wrong about this. There is no ambiguity at all in that statement.
- dash2 5y agoAh, but it wasn’t a coup attempt: https://taibbi.substack.com/p/a-tale-of-two-authoritarians https://taibbi.substack.com/p/a-tale-of-two-authoritarians Maybe you disagree with the linked article and think it really was a coup attempt. Fine, my point is that sensible people can disagree on how serious the Jan six riots were. That doesn’t mean that the first group is trivialising them.
