(43,659 posts)No society that intends to endure can tolerate an attempted coup d'etat like it's a walk in the park. Those that let it slide were transformed by revolution, new government, civil war.
I've posted before, but this fiasco closely followed the playbook from 1917, in the intent to seize power, in characterizing all opposing parties as illegitimate, fake, in the language they used. The Bolsheviki grabbed power and then refused to compromise with anyone. We were so close it's still frightening. This plot needs to be exposed so it can be put to bed.

(70,461 posts)i havent been to a dc protest in a long time, but back then you couldnt bring a sign w a wooden stick.
a yardstick was considered a weapon, and would be confiscated.
signs were put on cardboard tubes.
eta, and god help you if you tried to erect a structure, whether it was 'art' or not.
