People say this to sound cool but they don't think it through.

All watching it happen in real time has done is made it more clear that it still makes no sense.

I agree that it makes no sense, especially if you are a casual observer like so many. But I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that this was the exact plan from the moment Jan 6 failed.

Make no mistake, the coup is complete. Nobody did what was necessary to prevent it.
