The coup of 2020 gestated within the central organizations of the Republican right [View all]
This piece names names of the plotters behind the failed 2020 coup.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jan/06/capitol-attack-coup-attempt-trump-far-right-republicans]
Behind the insurrection of 6 January was a coup plot that was months in the making, and which involved a dastardly cast of characters
The author of the opinion piece shows how the coup was "adapted, enhanced and intensified from longstanding Republican strategies for voter suppression."
One of my take-aways: Kash Patel is a dangerous, flaming asshole. He's also relatively young, so expect more treason from this spook.
Along with most of the rat effers noted in this opinion piece.
