A Brief Political Post
Reading the indictment (the recent one, to clarify, since there are so many), it's clear that what was attempted on January 6 was nothing less than a coup. A real coup to overthrow a fairly-held Presidential election using military force, if necessary, to control protests.Let that sink in for a minute.
This isn't a third-world nation, but the thugs attempting this were using third-world tactics. They all knew the election was legitimately lost, but that wasn't even an asterisk in their thinking. They didn't care that it was legitimate. Democracy meant absolutely nothing to them, and neither did the Constitution.
Whatever prison sentences get handed out won't be long enough.
