that trump s aides drafted an insurrection act order to deploy the u.s. military on american soil in response to protests. president denied it at the time. no surprise there. but the idea was in wide circulation. because right wing vigilante group members were caught online hoping trump would invoke the insurrection act around january 6. but even this bombshell news about a potential presidential coup for which there is no precedent in mrn history might sound to some folks like a trump scandal. most republicans will react with a shrug and defer to what aboutism. it s because they can t handle the truth. that s why the vast majority refuse to support a bipartisan commission to investigate the tack. that s why we know the threat to our republic is not over, not by a long shot. the guardrails held in the end thanks to a few good men and women in the government. but far more were afraid to speak out which means they remain complicit.
