26. The J6 coup was not successful.

The GOP's seizure of SCOTUS was neither sudden nor violent nor illegal. Enough of our fellow citizens repeatedly chose the legislators who accomplished this. We have at least a couple more chances to change the direction of our government but it's going to require more votes for the one party that actually tried to stop it. No thanks to those who choose their perfect over their country's good.

a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government.
