Trump’s legal team also tried to throw cold water on the idea in a filing earlier this week, writing that the “events of January 6 were not an ‘insurrection’ as they did not involve an organized attempt to overthrow or resist the U.S. government.”
Trump disagrees, apparently.
“They kept saying about what I said right after the insurrection,” he said outside Mar-a-Lago after arguments concluded in Washington, D.C. “I think it was an insurrection caused by Nancy Pelosi.
Well, they are right on part of that. It definitely wasn’t well organized, just like the entirety of Trump’s presidency. I thank the powers that be on a regular basis that he and his cronies were so incompetent.
It was more organized that most realize I think is the problem, it just went wrong. People were fired, others were hired, reinforcements were re routed, orders were given to not intervene, not to supply aid, defenses, weapons, anything. It is just being lost to time.
And something to keep in mind is they can learn from it, how it went wrong, if they have the opportunity to try again.
I commented here a while back about how I was pretty sure my dad wouldn’t vote for him again because of this. Had it been a Democrat, he’d be screaming for them to be thrown in the gulags (he was raised/went into the military during the cold war). But when I asked… He said he had faith our institutions could handle it. I asked why he would take that risk and he didn’t have much of an answer
At least for most people who answer like that and still support Trump it’s probably cause they know that if the institutions fail and they manage to seize power it’ll be good for them because the people they like are doing it. They don’t want a dictatorship but don’t really care that much as long as it’s a dictator they agree with.
Yeah that went well for the underling Nazis in Germany.
It was well organized internally. It was just wrapped in an extra layer of disorganized random people that clung to it as a disguise for plausible deniability.
