Trump attempted a coup. Only US President to ever have resisted the peaceful transfer power. Ignoring it, both-sides-ing it, justifying it, or downplaying it is exactly what should not be done. He broke a sacred trust.
- jonnycomputer 4y agoIt is clear what Trump thinks: “January 6th was not simply a protest, it represented the greatest movement in the history of our Country to Make America Great Again.” "So much love"

- jonnycomputer 4y agoYou have 3 karma. Seems more likely that you're the alt spazz.
- burnmurderloot 4y agoUnarmed, saving a few pocket knives and pistols, do not make for a “coup.” It was a protest, plain and simple.
- anonymousab 4y ago"They just had a few firearms" is a weird way of downplaying things.
- jonnycomputer 4y agoThere were multiple groups of people there with different levels of involvement, different motivations, and different objectives. Proud Boys stashed weaponry at a hotel in case Trump invoked the Insurrection Act. They were, in their words, happy to have the "normies" beating up a few "pigs", while they executed their coordinated seditious conspiracy, a conspiracy that they believed, in their own words, that they were coordinating with Trump. Proud Boys, stand back and stand by. Come January 6th, its going to be wild. These same Proud Boys gave VIP security to Roger Stone. Michael Flynn calling for invoking the resurrection act and invoking emergency powers to "rerun" the election; Flynn meeting with Trump for hours without WH lawyers present days before Jan 6. It is not plain and simple.
