I'm baffled. Half the posts I see about the National Guard are bemoaning how pathetic and cowardly it is that Biden and the democrats are so insecure that they've turned D.C. into a fortress for a virtual inauguration. The other half reiterates how obvious it is that the trap has been set, and the fences are for the inevitable containment and arrests. So, which is it? If Trump is the only person who could have ordered this operation, or command it, and D.C. is at least in part under martial law now, then why are so many people pretending that Biden, Pelosi, or the democrats in general are somehow responsible for this? Pentagon authorized some requests from local D.C. officials, yes, but Trump is the ultimate authority here, as far as I understand. — What am I missing?

Trump isn’t in charge anymore. There was a soft coup on January 6. Pence (and by extension Pelosi) are now in effective control. They’ll let him do some pardons before the end, but otherwise Pence has been running the show since then.
Then why try to impeach him?
