An understudied part of the J6 reaction by everyone (except the people attempting a repeat) is the way in which Milley (not in the chain of command) and Pelosi (likewise) coordinated explicitly to ensure soldiers were free to not comply with Trump www.nytimes.com/2021/09/28/u...

The Biden inauguration was not really a peaceful transfer of power but one more or less overseen by caretaker generals ensuring a disgraced criminal president left power after a failed but tenuous violent overthrow attempt. Then Biden named Garland and assumed Trump wouldn't have a comeback. Oops!

I have been arguing it was a caretaker government for years and not a peaceful handover! I can find the tweets! And it was important to realize b/c it meant restoration/reforging necessary.
