Thinking more about this, I'd be willing to say there were two separate coup attempts. One where Trump called up people and said "So this election thing, maybe we could not do that. Maybe I keep being President," and everyone laughing at him. That's one coup attempt. Then the next is Jan 6, were these stochastic chuds thought they could stop the election by killing Mike Pence or whatever they were doing. But the thing is those actions are so far removed from what could possibly actually coup the fed that it's impossible to take seriously. It's like if toddlers tried to do a coup. It's like Michael Scott shouting "bankruptcy."
successful at what? They barely had a plan cobbled together and I doubt hanging Mike Pence would have somehow made Trump president for eternity. Those goofball rioters would have needed to do a 2019 Bolivia style coup with weeks of civil unrest until law enforcement abandoned their posts and sided with the coup. Instead they're a bunch of coddled yacht dealership owners and uncles with conspiracy brain poisoning from Facebook. In no universe at all were they destined for installing Trump as King America by flipping the national guard or whatever.

also I get really weird vibes from you
The US getting out of Afghanistan was good. The US shouldn't decide who is in charge there, regardless of how shitty the Taliban is.

The US was in Afghanistan before the soviets were
