10 CRAZY AF things in our politics that prove we have no idea how to deal with an attempted coup:

1) asking seditionists to investigate their own sedition

2)allowing a terrorist leader who orchestrated an attack on our country to live freely, unchecked on the taxpayer’s dime

3) Not prosecuting IMMEDIATELY tape recorded phone calls trying to subvert and defraud election results

4) Allowing someone who destroyed MILLIONS of dollars of tax payer property to subvert and sabotage an election, to stay in his role and continue his sabotage.

5) Allowing a SCOTUS justice to remain on the Court while his assets were used to fund an insurrection, and his spouse helped plan it and knew of its occurrence weeks in advance of it occurring.

7) Allowing members of Congress who aided and abetted terrorists to infiltrate the Capitol to keep their jobs, continue to have access to the Capitol and not be immediately arrested.

8) Allowing states to pass voting restrictions based on a LIE, and not prosecuting those legislators for conspiracy to deprive people of civil rights.

9) Allowing the media
outlets that touted, praises, encouraged & continue to support the coup attempt, to carry on with impunity, doing ever more to incite another coup attempt.

10) EVERYBODY, especially our media, acting like this is somehow a rational or logical way to respond to an attempted coup.

2. Good thing they are so out of it that they can't come up with a workable plan.

Angels coming from Asia and Africa is just one example of the crazy plans they come up with.

3. Kickin'

as a country, we are an ASS.

4. Americans have historically done a poor job holding wealthy and powerful people accountable

Over time, lack of accountability becomes tacit approval. They do it because they can.

5. #6. Acting as if everyone is in the same universe and they give a shit about the rules.
