Some people thought it was all a part of the game (I would refer to those as the stupid people), some slept on it. But some of us saw it for what it was.
I have studied coups in history and had a notion that this was just the beginning. And back in 2020, I caught a video from a guy who lived in a central Asian country who provided a perspective.
He had lived through coups in his country and saw this as no different. He explained why he thought that in some detail (which I won't get into here, but it ticked the boxes).
And he finished with a few thoughts: that the person behind the coup must be held accountable, and dealt with. That the person (or more broadly the people) responsible for the coup will never stop coming. And that he wanted to tell us what he's told his family during coups … "good luck"
The orange man was not deal with. The wheels of justice were/are excruciatingly slow, he managed to run out the clock, and he got some help from people in other high places.
He never did stop coming. And now has all the power and intends to act like a dictator.
So I guess, sadly, the coup did happen. And now it's down to "good luck"
The adults in the room failed at their jobs and we all will pay a price.
