Coup

[LDAHL]

Again, if you think this is an average, just another day in America, type event, your downplaying of the seriousness of what is happening is defending it. We have never in our history had armed insurrectionists attempt to thwart the work of congress certifying the electoral college results. Never. Ever. There is nothing at all remotely normal about what is going on and trying to claim it is normal is defending the indefensible.

I don’t think, and I didn’t say, this was normal. Neither were any of the other violent incidents around the country. I think violence should be deplored, whether committed by wretched deplorables, virtuous seekers after social justice, real or imagined provocateurs or anybody else.

If in your mind that means I’m defending some kind of fascist coup, I doubt we have much else to say here.
