Appropriate cartoon with which to remember what happened exactly two years ago: REPUBLICAN Trump supporters carried out an extensively planned attempted ARMED, VIOLENT OVERTHROW of a full, fair and free election.
The plans for the insurrection had begun to be developed even before the election, as phone calls, testimony by insiders and even VIDEOTAPE conspiring to claim victory even if they clearly lost. They even had T-shirts and sweat shirts printed up in advance, touting “Civil War II” and other slogans in their plan for an ARMED VIOLENT INSURRECTION to overthrow the U.S. Capitol.
This week, they are observing the anniversary of their attempted ARMED VIOLENT COUP by again obstructing the U.S. Congress, only this time the call is coming from inside the House. Literally.
Today’s Republican fringe extremists, who have taken over the party, are even echoing Donald Trump’s plea from two years ago, when his ARMED MOB refused to go through the metal detectors after the saw firearms being confiscated at the magnetometers, as House Republicans have already voted for a rule change to remove the metal detectors that keep members safe from workplace violence from the House chamber.
Just as the Trumpublican armed violent attempted coup two years ago shocked the American people to the point that Republicans lost several state legislatures, several governorships, several secretaries of state, several attorneys general, lost numbers in the U.S. Senate and failed to produce the “Big Red Wave” that everyone expected, so once again the Republican fringe is going to remind the American people that they are incapable of competent governing.
