Two years ago, January 6, 2021, Donald Trump, then-sitting President of the United States, incited an insurrection against our government.

His goal was to prevent the certification of the results of the 2020 election Joe Biden won by every measure.

The attempted coup, thankfully, as we know, failed.

But what is another term for an attempted coup?

Practice.

The new republican majority in the House of Representatives has already made it clear it is hell-bent on making sure that practice comes to fruition next time, maybe next year.

But it can’t do it alone.

The so-called “sedition caucus” needs help from average working Americans.

But how does it secure that help without looking right into a screen or tweeting something as blatant as, “Come help us overthrow democracy”?
