There Was No Insurrection But There Was A Coup
American Thinker.com ^ | January 6, 2022 | Vince Coyner

The debate is over. After a year spent investigating claims of election fraud, the media has determined that any fraud in the 2020 election was too insignificant to have changed the outcome and Joe Biden legitimately won. Now we can get back to our normal lives, or whatever passes for normal now…except that’s fiction.

In 44 BC, Roman Senators murdered Caesar, claiming they acted to protect the Republic. In fact, they simply sought power. Their coup d’état put the final nail in the coffin of a republic that had been dead in deed, if not name, for decades.

Coup d’états differ from revolutions in that they’re generally orchestrated by or include people within government who seize power—often by narrowly using or just threatening violence—resulting in a rapid transition of power. Revolutions are often longer affairs that include much of a country’s population and exponentially more bloodshed.

Most coups try to keep much of the society and government apparatus intact, merely changing who’s in charge. This illusion of continuity is intended to gain the population’s acquiescence by avoiding the appearance of a bloody civil war.

And that’s exactly what we got. While Donald Trump does not lie in a bloody toga on the floor of the Senate, America witnessed a coup d’état equally as vicious. Many will deny one took place because their guy won but, make no mistake, virtually every American knows one did, even if only 56% admit it.

The moment the coup began to reveal itself Americans knew something was amiss. Many went to bed on November 3rd believing that Trump was leading in enough states to secure an electoral victory, including in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Wisconsin.

And now to merely question the integrity of our election process is looked upon by Democrats as bordering on treason. You might even be investigated by the DOJ for conspiracy.

I guess it's nice that more conservatives are finding the courage to publicly call it a coup.

If only all Republican politicians and conservative media had found their courage in 2020.

It definitely was a coup without a doubt.

At this point, I would say that "to merely not be a Democrat is looked upon by Democrats as bordering on treason."

Good article.

The only thing omitted was the fact that the Dem-managed shutdown and flu-panic declared by President Fauci gave them the cover they needed to start up the machinery: mail-in voting and restricted in-person presence of observers.

The shutdown created a vast dome of exclusion that permitted the Dems to do whatever they wanted under its cover.

This was no accident.

Last time I checked Judas Pence was still a Republican.

It’s not just Dems.

They’re all Deep State.

The dems are calling it an “insurrection” so they can eliminate repubs from office. Here is the text of the 14th ammendment. THIS is why they are using that language.

Fourteenth Amendment
Section 3
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Here is a sample of dem “sanity”. Dem do not mind calling for insurrection. Here is a sample. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgPVkcLBjK8 So it is OK for the dems to call for violence and OK for BLM and Antifa to DO violence but NOT OK for repubs to actually “peacefully” protest. Yeah, sounds fair to me. S/O

Here is what the desm are REALLY doing. “Jan. 6 inmate starving to death, attorney says Jan. 6 inmate starving to death, attorney says”

Notice how dems can never “disagree” with you. They totally destroy you.

Biden got over 270 electoral votes. Those are decided by the states. The is not in doubt. That’s why he’s president now, hate it or deny it.

Imagine the Nancy & Co. deeming 120 Republican Congress members ineligible just before the 2022 elections and after primaries. Who would be shocked? Reality is they couldn’t get 2/3 vote but another successful branding campaign.

At this point, I would say that "to merely not be a Democrat is looked upon by Democrats as bordering on treason."

Heck, I would say that "to merely not be a certain denomination is looked upon by members of a certain denomination as bordering an eternity without the presence of GOD."

The Dems ought to worry about THIS phrase:

...given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

It’s the same reason, kinda, that Bush was always going to win in 2000. FL’s legislature wasn’t going to send Dem electors to congress no matter the vote when it was that close.

It sometimes bites our side as well. Don’t have to like it, but it could be worse and be a ‘popular’ vote. Which the dems would always win.

The 2020 election was stolen fair and square.

Bullshit hypothetical you can’t prove. Bush was elected because he won the vote in Florida. Every forensic analysis done after the fact, including that done by the NYT proved it. Stop spreading your BS.

I didn’t say gore won. Just that he wouldn’t have won. Bush won, but they were recounting select counties and making up the difference every day.
