      The Capitol has been breached since and the "protesters" are outside the Senate Chambers. Pence had to be rushed out. Very normal events proceeding normally as the minor downside of "humoring" dreams of election-stealing for a just a little bit more.https://twitter.com/edlavaCNN/status/1346899357493317632 …

      Is there any other country where people would not name exactly what's going on in this picture after the last few months? Also note, the US is not the only country to have pathetic, farcical coup attempts—or if you want to be technical, self-coup attempts.https://twitter.com/igorbobic/status/1346906369232920576 …

      This may all seem farcical and tragic, and it is both, but if the Republicans had not lost the two Georgia Senate elections yesterday (with less than one percent and less than half a percent difference), this storming of the Capitol would be much, much worse and a different game.

      Thinking about how when this @zeynep piece came out, a WaPo op-ed responded that this wasn't a coup because of "the near-total absence of violence or mobilization toward violence." https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/12/trumps-farcical-inept-and-deadly-serious-coup-attempt/617309/ …

      There's time to be alarmed. It's such a time. The president's blatant, if incompetent, attempts to steal the election are happening in a period of entrenched of minority rule, and are met mostly with silence or approval by Republican leaders.

      I guess they couldn't resist. Turkey's Foreign Ministry issues a statement: "Watching post-election developments in the United States with worry. Encourage the sides to moderation and calm. Advise our citizens to stay away from crowds and demonstration." 🙄https://twitter.com/TC_Disisleri/status/1346912432996937728 …
