Daily Reminder that there was a coup attempt between December 5, 2020 and January 7, 2021.
This is more important than any policy issue.
This is more important than any name-calling or "campaign topic of the day."
Every American needs to watch this PBS documentary: https://www.pbs.org/video/democracy-on-trial-sshgzy/
Every American must know what "The Eastman Memos" and "Operation Pence Card" were.
Every American needs to know why Kenneth Chesebro was indicted and what he pleaded guilty to.
Donald J. Trump, with the assistance of his allies, disrupted a 240+ year steak of peacefully transferring power in the US. That's right. 58 presidential elections all ended with the losing candidate conceding peacefully.
After exhausting all legal methods of challenging the 2024 election results, Trump attempted to:
-Pressure several public officials into criminal activity.
-Attempted to replace the attorney general with an election denialist at the last minute.
-Corrupt the certification of 2024 through fake electors.
-Demand for total immunity from the Supreme Court for the above actions when the scheme failed (This succeeded).

Do NOT let the media turn this coup attempt into "another random discussion" or "some obscure story". I don't know why, but they are refusing to do their job. CNN, ABC and MSNBC will only talk about the January 6 riots at best, but never about the full-blown, 100% intentional coup attempt. Instead, they seem more concerned about Trump lying about a helicopter trip than the attack on our nation's democracy by a former president.
Do NOT let the Russian bots (and yes, they do exist:https://www.npr.org/2024/07/09/g-s1-9010/russia-bot-farm-ai-disinformation) sow discord on what happened. It is well-documented, simple to digest, and provides overwhelming evidence.
Do NOT let Trump dodge accountability, obfuscate, or change the topic.
Do NOT let Kool-Aid drinkers get away with posting deflections and whataboutisms.
Do NOT let Faux "Centrists" get away with only talking about policy, giving half-answers, or acting nonchalant about a literal coup attempt. Remember:You are either okay with the coup attempt or not. This is no middle.
Do NOT let non-voters get away with remaining ignorant of the facts. Demand every American in your line of sight to research the topic.
Do NOT let Kamala, The DNC, or any Democrat official push for cucked-out civility politics over the coup attempt. There is no peace or civility when one side is okay with overthrowing the government.
Do NOT let leftists put other topics over the coup attempt between December 5, 2020, and January 2021.
Do NOT let yourself get distracted by other election drama.
Do NOT let yourself get gaslit. You are not crazy.
Do NOT let yourself get numb to the truth.
Thank you.
