So, I guess encouraging a mob to hang Pence is also an "official act" and immune.

I know we’ve thrown around the term “judicial coup” rather injudiciously over the past few years but at this point, is that not clearly what this court term has been?

basically making a coup legal as long as you discuss it with your vice president. moreover, this way of argumentation that ignores obvious context and treats all reasoning like we're in a law school seminar is just straight-up gaslighting.
