Cygnia

Sorry, but I am really effing tired of politicians being given the benefit of Hanlon's Razor.  Trump may not be a gifted project planner but the evidence that the coup was premeditated is overwhelming.  Just off the top of my head, Trump:
Spent a year sending inciteful tweets with violent language about the "Trump Army", "dead Democrats", and exercising 2nd Amendment rights Openly supported armed Michigan protestors who stormed the Michigan state capitol and planned to execute Gov. Whitmer Constantly groomed his supporters that "The only way we’re going to lose this election is if the election is rigged" Openly supported a Texas Trump caravan that tried to force a Biden campaign bus off the road Publicly instructed the Proud Boys to "Stand back and stand by" Knew for certain that he'd lost the election by Nov. 10 Constantly insisted after the election that he didn't lose and that the election was being "stolen" Appointed an acting Secretary of Defense who deauthorized the DC National Guard commander from being able to respond to requests for assistance Hosted the leader of the Proud Boys at the White House in December Held meetings at the White House to discuss the possibility of imposing martial law Had his campaign set up a million dollar rally on Jan. 6, at the same time as the Electoral College certification vote, two months after the campaign had lost the election Sent Donald Jr. and Rudy to meet with conservative CEOs the night of Jan. 5 to warn them what would happen the next day And that's just what happened before Jan. 6.  Seriously, anyone who has not yet seen the impeachment videos presented on the Senate floor this week should find them and watch them.  It is incredibly damning to see all the evidence put together with a timeline that makes it abundantly clear that Trump prepared and launched a stochastic coup with the full intention of capturing or (ideally) killing the Vice President and democratic members of Congress.
 
Honestly most people don't realize how close he came to succeeding.  The insurrectionists missed the EC ballot boxes by minutes.  They missed Pence by seconds.  Had he been killed, the EC certification could not have happened.  What would have happened then?

Vaguely reminiscent of the cover art for the the Vapor Trails remaster.
