      This is a huge problem. Everyone just jokes about it because he failed miserably, but it literally would’ve been a coup on the White House of the United States if those idiots succeeded.

          The officers that mislead some of the raiders did an amazing job. And they are heroes, but that wouldn’t have mattered anything if Trump had had some sort of lieutenant leading the group.

          All that those raiders lacked was a leader telling them to kill the politicians and senators in the Senate building and there may not have been any survivors.

          I remember seeing the videos and all of the pictures were they’re just sitting around and exploring, kicking their feet up in a senator’s chair and stopping for photo ops.

          They didn’t know what to do once they got there, and that was the primary thing that saved us, however, if we keep relying on the stupidity of evil to save us then eventually there’s going to be a smart evil person who fucks us over hard.

          Yeah and if just a few people thwarted your insurrection on an entire government then your coup failed miserably.

            That’s stupid. It’s not that any 10 people out of the world could have stopped it, it’s that only those 10 people could have stopped it and we’re damn lucky they did so.
