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.
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.
