As we all know by now (or at least MOST of us), the Capitol Insurrection and attempted overthrow of the 2020 Election and by fiat, DEMOCRACY ITSELF, was NOT some spur of the moment, spontaneous development arising within some loosely associated MOB of sore losers who independently determined to enforce THEIR will upon the American populace,
but was a carefully coordinated and well planned orchestration headed up by Trump himself, his staff, attorneys and associates, his inner circle of sycophants and sympathizers, and involving not only various groups of organized DOMESTIC TERRORISTS, seeking to "hang" the Vice President,
but joined by various state and national GOP lawmakers and entities in a SCHEME to get the results thrown out, or altered via a multi-state PLOT to supplant state electors with FAKE ones.
It involved nothing less than a group of co-conspirators in POLITICAL ANARCHY - including the 147 in CONGRESS who voted NOT to certify PRESIDENT Biden's lawful election.
And the fact that Donald Trump is STILL promoting this anarchy, STILL lying about the election, STILL inciting violence and THREATS of further violence, and still PROMISING to pardon those who participated in this unlawful ATTEMPTED COUP, only demonstrates that his INSURRECTION CONTINUES TO THIS DAY:
