Collusion with the wrecker
mercredi 13 janvier 2021 à 01:00A vast network of Republicans colluded with the wrecker to organize the Republican autogolpe effort on Jan 6.
The preparations included orders to prevent the National Guard from protecting the Capitol. I am not sure that obeying orders is properly called "collusion" — I think the word implies actions taken by choice. However, the giving of those orders was culpable.
The Spanish word "autogolpe" is used to describe seizure of power by the current head of the government — not an attempt to install a new government, but rather to keep it in power in defiance of the country's constitution. That is what the wrecker was trying to do.
