I knew in my heart Trump was still CiC after watching Biden's inauguration. People pointed out that he received a military funeral ceremony, and the soldiers all turned their backs to him as he went from the capitol to the WH. Being former military and remembering my Drill & Ceremonies manual, that was a sure sign to me.

I realized that CiC is a purely military position, thus it is not subject directly to the Constitution. Article II says "The President shall be the Commander-in-Chief" but if there is no legit president and the military knows the election was stolen, it makes total sense that they would set up a sandbox "office of the resident" and play it off to draw out the remaining traitors.

I was saying this pretty much right off the bat, while everyone called me a Trumptard. Then I read Jon's Devolution series almost a year later and it confirmed what I already knew.
