Kabuki theater.

No doubt. Just starting to wonder if Trump accepted a role. Has he said or done anything of note regarding Parler yet? Twitter emasculated him in the end, I hate to say, after he was so invested in them for some reason.

The first step in any coup is to sever the lines of communication between the people and the legitimate leader. That is why the radio and TV stations immediately get occupied by the insurgent forces during third-world coups. That is exactly what has happened here. President Trump has now been cut off from Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Google, E-mail, and the National Emergency Broadcasting System.

It won't stop with conservatives being barred from communications. The actions of these tech oligarchs aren't ends in and of themselves, but rather the first step toward something far more sinister. They are openly proclaiming their intentions for conservatives to be economically cutoff, socially expelled, and perhaps eventually physically incarcerated.

However, I suspect that they must be scarred of something happening that could turn all of this around. Otherwise they would have taken their time, enjoyed their victory parties, and waited until January 20th to make their move. All of these preemptive strikes and plans for invoking the 25th amendment and impeachment don't make any sense unless there was something they feared would happen to prevent their victory.

Anyone who has not read Orwell's "1984" (or at least see the movie), needs to do so now.

Paragraph 3: . . . very unique

Uniqueness is binary.

There are no degrees of uniqueness.

Trump never ran a business where his people were actively trying to make the business fail. He expected his opposition to be evil, but that treason from inside is one thing that I don’t think he was prepared for.

I don't follow your reasoning. Or at least you didn't explain so I understand.

I don't know anything about Parler or Twitter except that I don't use either one.

I like the coup that has the word ‘’de ville’’’ after it.

We have even begun to rebel.

Let me correct that: "We haven't even begun to rebel." was what I meant to write. They call what is happening now rebellion? What a joke. They allow Anti-fa and BLM to destroy things and assault poeple and then want to point fingers at us? It was primarily instigators at the Capitol who deliberately tried t make it look like Trump supporters were the perpetrators of the break-in.
