<p>After elevating a nasty riot into an insurrection … and an insurrection into a coup … and now we have that attempted coup transformed into an ongoing effort to turn America into an authoritarian state led by Republicans. ; Of course, it is all political propaganda emanating from a Democratic Party hoping to become a one-party authoritarian leadership.</p>



<p>Yeah! ; The best way to preserve a people-based democracy is to have one party govern from the top down – the top being the central government in Washington, D.C. ruled over by a permanent establishment of bureaucrats and elected officials of one party. ; We can see how well that system works in countries like China, Russia, North Korea, and even Cuba.</p>



<p>From January 6, 2021, to today, I have seen a demonstration get out of hand – turn into a riot. ; I have seen that dynamic many times in many cities across America. ; However, I have never seen the Washington establishment take such interest in a riot – or devote so many resources to puff it up into a Republic-ending narrative. ; The problem with the narrative is that the evidence does not uphold the spin.</p>



<p>After more than one and a half years – and more than 800 arrested for their activities on Capitol Hill on January 6 – less than half a dozen folks have been charged with Seditious Conspiracy. ; The vast majority of the 800 arrestees have been charged with crimes commonly associated with … riots. ; Such things as trespassing and vandalism.</p>



<p>Speaker Pelosi’s one-sided prosecutorial committee is blowing a lot of hot air about attempted coups, sedition, and treason. ; So far, no one has come close to being indicted for such crimes much less convicted.</p>



<p>The attempted coup narrative is so silly that it is amazing that anyone would take the accusations seriously. ; Perhaps it is because a corrupt and biased news media have given the Democrats narratives undeserved credibility.</p>



<p>But now we have the claim of an ongoing assault on America’s democratic institutions. ; According to those on the left, we are in the midst of a rolling coup attempt. ; It is happening every day. ; Her greatest fear is what Maya Wiley, of the <em>New York Times</em>, told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe’s” audience &#8212; that we are imperiled by an “ever present threat” from what she called “an ascendant movement” to overthrow the American government. ; She insisted that we “must accept the fact” that there is a serious ongoing attack on the nation’s democratic institutions. ; Really? ; Just like a liberal telling what we the people must believe.</p>



<p>The show also featured Michael Beschloss – billed as a historian (because he wrote a couple books) – who took the issue into political hyperspace. ; His “evidence” of the ongoing coup attempt was making up narratives of things that did not happen.</p>



<p>What if the box of electoral ballots had been taken by the mob? ; And what if the mob had seized Vice President Pence as a hostage – or even worse, used the gallows constructed outside the Capitol Building as a symbolic statement to actually lynch Pence?</p>



<p>Apparently Bechloss forgot that he is supposed to play the role of historian – and not a creative fiction writer. ; That is the problem. ; All that coup talk is hyperbolic or purely speculative. ; ;</p>



<p>The facts tell another story. ; The riot on Capitol Hill lasted about four hours. ; The rioters were essentially unarmed – something you would not expect of a real coup attempt. ; The riot caused less damage … less injury … and less death than those iconic riots that have plagued our major Democrat-controlled cities for generations. ; And in those cases, we have the police stand down and very few get rioters charged with anything. ; It is all part of the Democrats catch-and-release program (which apparently does not apply to conservative folks).</p>



<p>Following the January 6 riot, we were told that there would be disruptions across the nation led by violent insurrectionists. ; That never occurred. ; On the first anniversary, Democrats warned of a major assault on the Republic in D.C. and across the nation. ; In that case, Speaker Pelosi used her authority to bring out the National Guard and erected tall fencing around the Capitol Building. ; Approximately 100 people showed up – outnumbered by media and law enforcement – to listen to speakers and depart in about one hour. ; Nothing across the nation.</p>



<p>We are told how the coup plotters would be interfering with elections. ; Since January 6, 2021, there have been dozens &#8211;perhaps hundreds – of elections in every state. ; None were disrupted. ; There were hardly any challenges to the outcomes. ; It was basically business as usual for the electoral process.</p>



<p>Of course, no coup attempt can take place without the support of the military. ; From January 6 to today, I am unaware of any efforts by the military to support an overthrow of the government. ; If you hear of any, let me know.</p>



<p>We had a terrible riot on January 6, 2021. ; Folks on all sides of the political divide condemned it – and called for the rioters to be punished. ; They disrupted the certification by a couple hours. ; There was no threat to the Republic. ; No threat to America’s democratic institutions.</p>



<p>The original alleged coup attempt – and the ongoing coup attempt it is supposed to have sired – is political fiction on the grand scale. ; The Select Committee is not trying to get at the truth, but to propagate the Democrats’ BIG LIE.</p>



<p>As President Lincoln noted … you cannot fool all the people all the time. ; Fortunately, the Democrat strategy of gaslighting the American public is fooling fewer and fewer people every day.</p>



<p>So, there ‘tis.</p>

Did I miss my invitation to the ongoing insurrections?
