While the Jan. 6th committee documents Trump’s failed coup,
another conservative coup is proceeding
by Joseph Green, Detroit Workers’ Voice
The House January 6th Committee has been holding public meetings showing how Trump tried to nullify the 2020 presidential elections. New information is coming out showing how this was a deliberate, organized attempt at a coup d’etat. Along with this, the Committee has also shown that there is a nation-wide campaign of intimidation against those election workers who insisted on accurately counting the vote in 2020, with many resigning from fear for their lives or their families.
But the Committee’s overall orientation is that democracy will be preserved if another illegal coup can be prevented. Yet what is being prepared before everyone’s eyes is a growing attempt for the conservatives to usurp power according to laws passed by Republican legislatures and approved by courts that carry out voter suppression. Trump attempted an illegal uprising on Jan. 6th, but the coming coup is likely to be blessed by the establishment as legal.
