“part of the sedition and insurrection going on by the liberals.”
That must be it.
Its almost like they expected some kind of serious pushback to the take over.
Putting troops around the capital, imprisoning Jan 6 violators Soviet style to send message that decent would not be tolerated,
massive censorship at the mere suggestion that the election was stolen.
If communists forces were to actually take over the government actions like these would be expected.
Bingo that’s Soviet tactic
