And I’m sure there are lots of officials right on top of doing absolutely nothing about it. :sigh:

Wish you were wrong, but know you’re right. Absolute travesty. My son was born on the 7th just past midnight. The whole day of the sixth I was watching and hoping that my son wouldn’t be born the very day our democracy fell. I’m grateful some bulwark held, but it feels more and more like those cracks are just ignored.

Yep. Forget who said this, and I’m paraphrasing, but “A failed coup, without punishment for those who orchestrated it, is just a practice run.”

The terrible people are going to do that anyway. Wish they’d realize that.

They realize it. Some don’t care and just want plausible deniability. Some are actual useful idiots.

In the end, the effect is the same.

The terrible people already did. It was the attempted coup.
