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.

” 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.”

The BLM and Anitifa violence wasn’t really an insurrection.

Interesting, how libs pick and choose what parts of the Constitution to take seriously. But while we’re in there…

“…or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof”

Wouldn’t that line disqualify most of the Dems and the RINO’s in the House and Senate right now?

“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. biden is NOT president. He is a vessel. No way he got 270 electoral votes.

Well then how about this.
Remember when the Black Panthers carried rifles into the Capitol when they invaded it? Here is the story: https://capitolweekly.net/black-panthers-armed-capitol/

Or how about when the Democrat Weather Underground bombed the US Capitol. They knew who did it and yet NO ONE was arrested or charged. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/bomb-explodes-in-capitol-building

And No one was charged with ANYTHING. And they BOMBED the capital.

I’d rather read chicken bones than twitter stats. Sorry, but twitter if anything is an opposite-indicator.

I didn’t remember those things.

The Jan 6 event is so serious for the democrats because to them it is a real insurrection which will come to a climax next election by the casting of votes.

I can read, and you just reiterated your bullshit hypothetical that you can’t prove. Bush won every count, and no, it was Bush who increased his lead with every independent count done. You’re not half as clever as you think you are.

Look at the charts. It was up and down, and ‘independent’ results don’t mean jack, only state certified.

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

THOSE folks were/are all FOR it; THEY wanted Trump gone too.

This isn’t about what’s “right” and/or “lawful” to them - it’s about THEIR money and power inflow.

The fight was never Democrat vs. Republican;

It is Political office holder vs. average yokel citizen.

Until one recognizes their true enemy, the fight is lost.

The coup was Nov 3rd 2020. The US is a captured operation. Now its still to be determined as many believe including me whether Trump and military intelligence were executing a sting operation. If so, we are in devolution and at some point this illegitimate administration will be removed.
