    why cant you answer? do you think, for example, congress has power, not its our elected officials, but who happens to be standing in there?

    you do realize congress could still function if every congressperson was casting votes from home?

    you cant physically take over our govt with 200 people. you need an army of millions, with aircraft carriers and like a trillion dollars worth of guns and bombs.

    nonsense. its not that easy to overthrow the most powerful country that ever existed. it would take more than one momma's boy being convinced. would need millions of well armed tough guys. dont be so dramatic.

    Have you read ANYTHING anybody in this thread without your blinders has written? Or can you read at all? Functionally illiterate? NOBODY here has said that 200 people could take over our country.

    What we HAVE said is that the riot could have led Pence to be terrorized into not certiying the election, at which point trump would capitalize by declaring a national emergency... in which case all hell would have broken loose, and not confined to the Capitol building. AND THAT WAS THE PLAN.

    i know what it means. it does not mean one momma's boy.

    do you think it means a bunch of clowns taking selfies and trespassing?

    venezuela is in poor shape, do you think we can go down there and overthrow it by sending 200 doofuses into their capitol?

    You can if that includes members of Congress who are involved in the coup and other members who sit on their hands because of cowardice.

    i see, and they would do that, for example by holding a knife to his throat?

    couldnt he just certify it when they let him go, or would they capture and put him in the cage in the jungle?

    No, that's wrong. Demonstrations are not dangerous and are a good thing; riots by definition are dangerous no matter what group is the rioters.

    riots are dangerous to the people and property around, not to the whole country. you cant overthrow a country by throwing rocks at the capitol. you cant smash your way intot he capitol and start passing bills and overthrowing superme court decisions.

    this whole "insurrection" claim depends on people pretending they dont know how power and legitimacy work. the presumption that we lose the country because some clowns were standing in the house of representaves is momumentally absurd.

    i asked you guys like 900 times to explain the mechanism where power is transferred to the insurrectionists and you cant.
