Imagine having a giant mob willing to march and take the fucking capitol, doing it while the police supported you and the army looked to their bellies, and not even getting concesions out of it. WORSE: your movement and party is shitting itself after it.
I really believe they could have pulled something IF Trump wasn't Trump.
They were trying to stop the results from getting certified, it was a failed coup.
I feel like there has to be some even remote chance of success to consider it a coup attempt. Unless you'd still call it a coup attempt if it was one chud trying to storm it on his own.
