Edit: By “overthrow” I mean an actual attempt to topple the government, not wandering around aimlessly in a building for 4 hours stealing furniture.

If you actually oppose power you would almost certainly be FBI’d long before you could ever get to a position where you could conceivably stage a coup.

Being barred from election is a very quaint punishment for leading a failed coup.

    The Guardian is based in Britain, a literal monarchy where the entire extended ruling family lives high on the hog on the taxpayer's dime and are excempt from facing any kind of legal responsibility. One of their princes is a literal pedophile and the worst thing they did to him was to tell him to avoid public events for a while.

    And now they expect people to get mad about another country giving retired presidents and their families healthcare?
