    I mean I think the play was to justify it after the fact.

    “We were fighting for America” is what they told themselves.

    And had they won, and had they dragged all of the senators and Congresspeople out onto the public square and executed them and forcibly shoved Trump back into office they would have told themselves that they did a good thing and made sure they had a nice juicy write up in the history books for their successful coup and “the protection of the American way of life”.

      I think it can show that everyone needs critical thinking skills, which unfortunately is what some don’t want as opposed to blind followers. Like you can pull one lever (religion, race, etc) it means every action is justified.
