As half-assed as this coup feels, it's been in the works for years. We'll find out there was significant participation by police forces. The main reason it failed(and it will fail) is that they were never able to generate a controlled opposition to wage fake battles in the street
and they put a lot of effort into that over the years. There needs to be an investigation into the f*ckery that's been committed against the American people when this is over and a whole lot of people need to be banned from police work.

wealthy individuals who will block our attempts to address climate change is a perfect circle. These people need to be taken down several notches until they no longer represent a threat to our republic or our futures.
