At which point will Americans realize that creating an unaccountable institution that is able to pass its liability on to tax-payers is immoral and attracts sociopaths?

I can hear TheCount desperately typing, searching for any kind of protest.
Ok, so the consensus seems to be that we witnessed an attempted bloody coup, with government LIHOP assistance.
That the only reason the coup failed is because of blind luck, fate or the Hand Of God.
Many of the people responsible for this coup have been calling for "our" (by "our" I mean various legacy Americans from all political spectrums that could loosely be labeled as "freedom folks") expulsion from the public sphere, deliberate displacement and dilution via demographic invasion, arrest, silencing via corporate censorship, political imprisonment, and outright murder and genocide.
They have been doing this for years, screaming from every mouthpiece and government organ that we are Nazis, xenophobes, racists, reactionaries, threats, extinguishers of "OuR DemOcRacy (whatever the $#@! that may be) and must be stamped out by any means neccesary.
Make no mistake, if Ron Paul had achieved the popular support that Trump has, he would have been shot as well.
So, the question remains, is anybody, or any group of anybodies, going to do anything?
Or, are we all going to sit around and rage post at each other, until this whole incident is forgotten in a few weeks, and we move on to the next outrage?

I'm reminded of Everybody Loves Raymond (can't remember which episode): "Your lips aren't saying it, but you're definitely thinking it!" Context: Raymond had said F-U to Robert and got in trouble for it. To get around this, he would lean his head to indicate his intention to say the words, without saying them.
By TheCount's standards, we're equally guilty whether there are riots or not. Even if they didn't happen, we must have wanted them to...

Has anyone taken action to get the voting machines kicked out of their county?
Every major city has an office to enact the UN’s Agenda 21/2025. Those need to be stopped.
These are doable things, but they do take effort.
Most regular people are not evil. They just do not have the necessary information laid out for them in an easily understood format, with the actual supporting documents attached.
Beyond that, everyone knows what to do. Be another Thomas Massie. Run for a position on your local school board, city council and on up. We gripe about what is being done to us; we can change that if we want. At least at the local level where it really counts.

That idiot should try telling the J6 prisoners that the system is unfair because they don't act like the left.
The system IS rigged, and the moment our side tries to take his fork tongued advice we get shot, locked up indefinitely without trial, and tortured in jail.
He can go out and show us the way, or he can shut up and quit telling others to go to the slaughter.

The J6ers are prisoners precisely because the opponents of the left don't act at all. The system is unfair precisely because the left acts and their opponents merely complain about it (while remaining between the velvet ropes - rather like fish in a barrel).
Then, by all means, carry on with sticking inscribed incantations into the rigged system's magic wishing boxes.
He didn't tell anyone to do anything. He merely pointed out the glaringly obvious fact - one that apparently needs to be pointed out, anyway - that those who actually use (the threat of) force and power will always dominate and rule those who don't (or won't).
Thus ...

He's telling people to go act like the left to get their way in politics.
We saw how that works if our side gets within a country mile of doing it.
There is a time for everything but we are not at the time yet, as proven by him and you not practicing what he's preaching.
Some people who also are not doing what he is saying to do just like to make themselves feel better than everyone else by sitting in their armchairs and criticizing people for not doing that which they themselves won't do.

What would you recommend?
ETA: I mean, the left and the anti-human forces of evil are bold in their advocated strategies. But we pussyfoot around them. We are good people. But let's not be coy. If there are any things to DO, the first thing must be to be able to discuss them and share with each other. Will it make us a target - most definitely. But sadly, we won't make any progress if we're afraid to take action. (Maybe this deserves its own thread. Most strategies don't include violence, but some may include DEFENSIVE action.)

Government employees think they own and control you.
I had jury duty yesterday. Proper attire mandated. Here is my experience.
I decide to wear a stained microfiber Tee shirt and a well worn pair of microfiber shorts along with plastic clogs and no socks.
I arrive at 8:30 and wait to get let in. They herd us into 2 lines where we get signed in. We hear a speech from a guy followed by 2 movies. Then a judge comes to the podium and gives a speech. Something the judge said a couple of times was, "I spend a lot of time getting my friends off of jury duty." After he is done talking I speak out loud and say, "If I were in your position I would not spend any time getting my friends off of jury duty."
At noon, not one person had been called out of the room. I have a scheduled trip to SC leaving this coming Saturday. We care for my wife's elderly parents and her mom is total care. The trial is going to be a criminal trial and is expected to last about a week. I will not be able to serve on the jury so I go to a door where a woman and man are and say, "Excuse me, I would like to get excused for hardship, I care for my wife's elderly parents, and we have a trip out of town planned for next week." Lady says, "there is nothing I can do, you need to tell it to the judge when you get called in front of him."
I asked,"how many people have been called to the judge so far?" She said, "no one."
I said I came here under duress, and will not get put on the jury. She said, "there is nothing I can do and you did not come under duress."
I said, "I am here under duress, if I did not come, I could be arrested. Furthermore, you are disrespecting everyones time." I said, "there has to be a much more efficient way to do this than have 100 people in this room. You could call in 3 people and have everyone on call. If one goes in text the next person." She wants my name and I provide it.
I express my dissatisfaction and how they have wasted everyone's time and she instructs me that I cannot say anything to any other juror about my dissatisfaction. I said, "I have 1st amendment rights and you cannot tell me what I can say."
She picks up a phone and I leave the room and go to the bathroom. After exiting the bathroom a guard is standing with the woman. He tells me I need to leave. I said, I need to get my things. I get my water bottle, and tell the guy I had been talking with that I was apparently getting escorted out.
The guard informed me that I did not need to come back.
So bottom line, the lady lied. She could have had me excused. She just wouldn't allow me to say I wanted to leave, she had to have me thrown out.
There were more words said before I went to the bathroom. She said something like, I am here, I said you get paid to be here. Regardless, there was a room full of people and not one person had been called in nearly 4 hours. There has to be a better way then to waste all those peoples time and their employers money.
After 5 days your employer no longer has to pay but then the court will pay $50 per day. Where do they get off with that slave pay and strict mandates? They have no problem forcing employers to pay for 5 full day of wages but then they pay hardly anything.
The justice system is broken, I don't want to participate with their mandates.
There are all the usual actions that can be taken, through, what Barney Gumble said to Moe the bartender as he was passing out grenades: "Moe, I think he meant change through non-violent, grassroots, political action". Run for local office, show up at town hall and school board meetings, hold meetings and seminars to educate and inform and so on.
But I also think it is long past time to, as you noted, prepare for our common defense.
Start a Committee of Safety in your town or neighborhood. While the name is the same, the duties differ from the Colonial group of the same name. I did this and have had a bit of success with it. Focus on mutual aid and defense, get to know, of those around you, that can be relied upon to come to that aid.
Hold an Appleseed shoot.
Drill and train with friends and neighbors and family for common defense.
Hold informational talks and and seminars.
I've had some luck with that as well.
That's a few right off the top of my head.
My point is to get out there and engage, in anything other than rage posting and ceaselessly arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
It's fun and we all do it, but it's not very effective at achieving our goals.
