lmao they could have executed every politician in congress today if they wanted
BULLSHIT. Congress has security - security that shoots people when they're actually close to getting anywhere that matters, as we saw today. Worst case scenario, if the reactionaries were armed and the police sided with them, there'd at least be a shootout between loyalists and insurgents. And then you can be damn sure federal forces would show up and bring everything to a stop.
But it wouldn't even get that far. A handful of assholes in Michigan can't get together and fantasize about kidnapping the governor without someone turning informant. How would you arm an insurgent army and send it on the Capitol without the FBI knowing?? And the FBI wouldn't go along with the coup because they're happy where they are. Biden doesn't challenge their power.
actually trying to gaslight people into thinking this wasn’t inches from a fascist coup?
Calling this a coup attempt is laughable. You're a riot. We should arrest you for an attempted coup with how riotous you're being.
The military-security apparatus is already in charge. Are they going to upset the stock market and tarnish their own image by killing a bunch of Congress members most of whom are lobbyist-darlings with no popular followers anyway? There's a difference between fantasy and reality and you're not living in the right one.
