It wasn't a protest, it wasn't a riot...

[augyboston]

What transpired on January 6th wasn't a protest, it wasn't a riot and the term insurrection just doesn't measure up.

Let's call it what it was. It was an attempted coup that failed only because we got lucky.

These fascists will surely try again. Just look at their online posts. They're not done yet, so we need to make sure that they are doomed to failure on their next attempt and their next attempt must be met with overwhelming force!

This was an attempt to overthrow our government, end democracy, overturn the will of the majority and install a dictator!

The leaders of this coup were tRump, Hawley, Cruz, Johnson and the rest of the Repukes who refused to certify the people's vote.

They all need to be sent to prison. Every last one of them!

1. You will get no argument from me. I think we were lucky we dodged two

bullets number one if "The Loser" would have taken COVID-19 seriously he would have been re-elected. If re-elected
he would have done away with the two term limit and rigged the future elections like Putin.

2. I've said before that as horrific as it may sound, the additional unnecessary deaths may actually

have been worth it, if that's what it took to take down Trump. A fascist America could have been responsible for many millions more death potentially world wide. We'll never know that now I hope.

3. It was an attempted republican coup

Call it out forcibly!

It was a Republican-party coup attempt.
It was an action of war against the constitution.

4. Much more ought to be made of this fact re it being a coup - funded by drumpf

with gop support

5. What will matter long term is whether we can accurately provide a comprehensible

and factual summary of key details about the event.

We need to keep a focus on facts, because the facts educate people; and because an organized presentation of facts will lead people to apprpriate conclusions.

Terminology will not persuade the unconvinced
