Considering the other immoral, fraudulent, evil lengths Barr, Pence & Guilianni did for Trump in furtherance of their own interests, I find it hard to believe they still had “democracy antibodies”.I think it’s more likely Barr & Pence are two old white men who had & have racist, theocracy, patriarchal agendas. General Milley made it clear, military would not be used against its citizens. The implied flip side of Milley’s declaration is that the military WOULD use force to prevent sedition. Barr & Pence didn’t want to get killed or arrested. They’d advanced these agendas as far as they could go & only stopped short of open sedition because of fear. McConnell tried to draw line at January 6, because Trump was no longer useful for his anti democracy agenda. Unfortunately for McConnell, Trump’s base has become a monster he can’t control. Guiliana is an old mean, narcissistic, alcoholic, who was able to seemingly represent the right kind of masculinity at a pivotal time for country. He seemed & perhaps was competent when he was mayor. He was rapidly losing his cognitive abilities & desperately trying to recoup money he’d squandered & to stay relevant during the Trump years. I assume he had a moment of rare cognitive awareness that he might get killed if he pursued military solution.
