This is sedition, plain and simple. No amount of playacting and rationalizing can change the fact that the majority of the Republican Party and its apologists are advocating for the overthrow of an American election and the continued rule of a sociopathic autocrat.”
"The sedition caucus is worse than a treasonous conspiracy. At least real traitors believe in something. These people instead believe only in their own fortunes and thus will change flags and loyalties as circumstances require. They will always become what they pretend to be, and so they cannot—and must not—be trusted ever again with political power."
This is exactly what I think every time I hear a Canadian or US politician talk about Juan Guaidó and the other opposition politicians in Venezuela in favorable terms after their denying the election results and claiming a victory when they lost. Of course the difference with Guaidó and the Republican seditionists is that he has bi-partisan support from US politicians including money and arms to attack the elected government while the Republicans while being controlled by Russia are getting neither money nor arms from Putin.

Will January 6 Be the Date the Second US Civil War Begins?
"Up to a million Americans will descend on Washington this Wednesday, when Congress moves to formalize November's election. If misrepresented by the media, the event could be the spark for the mother of all national breakups. Moreover, by dismissing the Republican claims of election tampering as 'baseless' the media is helping to light the fuse on a national conflagration..."

Georgia's Secretary of State Raffensperger Certified Georgia's 2020 Election Results Knowing 460,000 Ballots were Missing Legally Required Chain of Custody Documentation
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/georgias-secretary-state-raffen...
"...The chain of custody documentation provides evidence that the ballots in question were properly gathered, transported and counted according to state law. Ballots in an election should be under dual control, both a Republican and a Democrat should be involved in the gathering, transport and counting of ballots. Each action should be documented and signed off by individuals from each party.
The fact that Georgia has no records on how 460,000 ballots arrived and were counted in the 2020 election should void the entire election results. Georgia's corrupt leadership knew this and yet they certified Georgia's results giving Joe Biden an 11,000 vote lead in the Presidential election. This is so disgusting and illegal and yet they are about to do it again in the US Senate runoff in the state..."

The far-right internet is seething with threats of violence on January 6th.
Far-right online forums are seething with references to potential violence and urging Trump supporters to bring guns to Wednesday’s protests in Washington — in violation of local laws — as Congress meets to certify Biden’s victory.
Many of the posts appear to be direct responses to Trump’s demands that his supporters pack the nation’s capital in support of his bogus claims that November’s national vote for Biden resulted from election fraud.
Congress’s largely ceremonial role in confirming Biden’s victory has emerged as a catalyst for expected unrest that has D.C. police and the National Guard deploying on city streets to quell potential trouble.
