Coordinated yes. Carefully? Questionable.
As carefully as trump supporters are able.
By who?
Idk, great question. Maybe it was the cult leader?
Hmm. Who was leading this failed coup?
I wouldn’t say any of that is evidence of careful coordination. Careful implies intentional and thorough strategizing.
By multiple convicted insurrectionist groups, and trump.
No but I mean specifically, as in who carefully coordinated. That’s my question.
Proud boys (the ones Trump told to stand back and standby as if they’re his personal militia) for one:

Oath keepers:

And the six people named in the latest Trump indictment, and Michael Flynn. They wanted invoke martial law. They wanted to use Jan 6 as a reason to. And trump openly encouraged insurrection attempt.

This is a lot of work. Because tbh the list could go on forever. It was poorly organized. But it was planned.
Okay thanks for the link about 1776 Returns- I hadn’t seen that before.
