I saw the whole thing as an absolute joke, but they're treating it like it was an actual terrorist strike or something. "An AtTaCk On DeMoCrAcY", fuck off, it was some people wandering inside the Capitol because the cops let them in. I think like two people died and one of them was a cop, one of them was the taser balls guy.
Remember when they wanted to make some cop Time's person of the year for being there on Jan 6th? lol.
Real galaxy brain take.
The coup is not when you go on TV to declare yourself president for life.
The coup is when you get the army and industry onboard to the point you aren't arrested as soon as you go to bed after making that speech.
Even if
had showed up with technicals, mortars and IEDs, amd gone on to execute every sitting member of congress, it's not like Goldman Sachs and Microsoft would have started to take orders from them. It never had the potential to last longer than mobilization of the National Guard would have taken, because there was no movment or actual power behind it.
In retrospect, seeing SS and senators run around the capitol terrified for their lives when one bullet was all it took to send the cowards home was the funniest thing in a while
Mfs on either side wouldn’t have lasted even one km of the long march
That's a successful coup. But even an unsuccessful coup can get a lot of people killed. That's my concern. I'm not American; I don't care who sits in the White House.
Like anything to do with Trump that liberals have an undying hysteria for, it wasn't really a big deal when you consider the status quo. These people are so fucking cooked when climate crisis starts being theor problem. You can't be so weak willed and delicate. It's a pathetic affectation for a warlord first of all, and also for the radlibs who've taken up being pathetic as political virtue, that's passing the buck. Your a boomer but worse cause it's your own future. I'm begging for anything left of literal nazis to show any spine at all. It's sad. We've got the worst example of capitalist democracy right in front of us and there somehow isn't a single person who isn't too needle dicked to st least be what Bernie pretended to be? If that's what's on the bus I'd rather fucking walk.
