True or False? - The attempted coup ended when Joe Biden became President on January 20, 2021.

Yes, that was the end of it. The attempted coup failed. Democrats regained control of our government.

No, the attempted coup continued. It is more of a threat now than the day Joe Biden was sworn into office.

Which of those comments do you believe to be the most true?

It is still being promoted. People are running for election to further the goal of overthrowing the will of the people. Trump and his minions are still lying about his historic election loss. It is still ongoing

We think it a coup or insurrection, but it's a 45 year revolution to grab power by any means and install fascists in the skeletal framework of the US government to serve money, power, greed, and corporations. Install the formerly regulated as the regulators and call them patriots. Revolutions don't fail, they just morph.

Democrats who think trump lost in 2016 and Gore in 2000, not to mention hostility from those who lost primaries.

So not really surprised a bunch of GOPer rubes continue their claims of "We waz robbed" when their guy lost.

I would like to ask democratic leadership your questions. A few days after January 6, 2021, DiFi stated that she didn't think democracy was in any danger. WTF?

Thinking one or the other side "won" is simply going back into your hole.

It continues on, and it will continue on until Republicants are dealt such a decisive defeat that it finally penetrates their neutronium thick skulls that continuing to run on Fraud, Fear, and Fascism is a losing strategy.

to totalitarianism than to recover from it. I’m not saying there are easy solutions but it is kind of a one way street.
The best chance to stop it is now.
