Not a riot. A carefully coordinated coup attempt.
Carefully coordinated is a stretch. It was haphazardly coordinated at best.
I’m sure the planning was done in a highly coordinated way. But project execution always comes down to your resources, and … well … the rioters aren’t exactly the yummiest crayons in the box.
It’s was as carefully planned as a bunch uninformed, violent, gullible traitors coulld get
I suppose we have to be thankful that collectively they couldn’t outwit a potato. It’s also fortunate for them as well because if they had actually succeeded in their objective they’d probably all been shot.
Eventually, but not right away I suspect.
Hey man, they did the best they could with the minds they had available.
Coordinated yes. Carefully? Questionable.
As carefully as trump supporters are able.
Insurrection.
By who?
Idk, great question. Maybe it was the cult leader?
Hmm. Who was leading this failed coup?
I wouldn’t say any of that is evidence of careful coordination. Careful implies intentional and thorough strategizing.
I mean the tours led by qanon affirming Congress members and the attempt to remove the VP from the premises for reasons that required text history purging certainly felt intentional. I suppose if they’d been thorough it wouldn’t be a failed insurrection.
By multiple convicted insurrectionist groups, and trump.
No but I mean specifically, as in who carefully coordinated. That’s my question.
Proud boys (the ones Trump told to stand back and standby as if they’re his personal militia) for one:

Oath keepers:

And the six people named in the latest Trump indictment, and Michael Flynn. They wanted invoke martial law. They wanted to use Jan 6 as a reason to. And trump openly encouraged insurrection attempt.

Here’s the Trump indictment:

This is a lot of work. Because tbh the list could go on forever. It was poorly organized. But it was planned.
Okay thanks for the link about 1776 Returns- I hadn’t seen that before.
