This is crazy! Fox's Bret Baier compares Student Loan Relief to Trump's Coup attempt

Fox anchor Bret Baier compares Biden’s vaccine mandates and student loan relief to Trump’s attempted coup

This is The Wall Street Journal. This is not a MAGA op-ed here, and they say, “Trump as Dictator Is a Classic Case of Projection.”
“Abuse executive power. Ignore the law. Run roughshod over individual liberties. Retaliate against political opponents. Mr. Biden and his allies have done exactly what they warn Mr. Trump will do if he returns to the White House. Unlike Mr. Biden, however, Mr. Trump would have to contend with a hostile media and federal bureaucracy that would be throwing pots, pans and candlesticks at him at every step.”

Interview guest Liz Cheney responded "Well, I think they’re wrong. I think if you, again, if you look at — we don't have to guess about what next President Trump would do because he did it before... {and the} people who told him what he was doing was illegal. Those people won’t be around him."

Baier then challenged Cheney. “But you haven’t been vocal about President Biden when, like executive orders to cancel student loans, ban evictions, mandate COVID vaccines.

are doing their damnedest to play down Trump's coup as legitimate protest yet Biden's student debt relief, and any effort to improve lives, is deemed worse than Trump's January 6 insurrection?...so Trump didn't stage a coup but if he did (but he didn't), rent relief and Covid vaccines are attacks on our democracy equal to Trump's "army" invading/desecrating the Capital, crushing/maiming/killing police officers/hunting Mike Pence....makes sense, right?
