There is evidence that the Former Guy's MAGA Cult had a phase two planned for the violent coup attempt on January 6, 2021. They had stored weapons and ammunition close to the Capitol waiting to deploy them in their military style assault on the Capitol.
"According to court documents, at least seven Oath Keepers involved in
the events of January 6 stockpiled firearms in a northern Virginia hotel
for potential use by a “quick reaction force” on behalf of Trump inside
DC. Three others discussed participating in that effort, court filings
show."
More and more evidence is coming out about how very close we came to losing our democracy on January 6. The coup attempt continues today as the Former Guy continues to falsely claim that the election was stolen, and his Cult move to institute election fraud using the false excuse of voter fraud. Voter fraud is individuals voting illegally - very few instances, proven over a over again by investigation after investigation. Election fraud is reducing the number of polling places in Democratic districts, placing "Stop the Steal" fanatics in charge of elections, and establishing powers in Republican dominated states to simply throw out the actual vote count and declare victory for the Republican.
Fortunately, he was stopped in 2020 and many of the criminals involved in the attempted coup are arrested and convictions are coming. As time passes and the foundations are being laid with earlier investigations, those higher up in the planning and execution are likely to be deposed and I hope charged and imprisoned.
Coups are not allowed in America.
