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.
true, but in this case there was no group or person claiming authority. like the difference between when the farmers broke into the royal bedroms in the 1740s vs. the actual French revolution
yeah it was a pathetic attempt with no organization but it was an attempt of doing it and not calling it let's people take control of the narrative because the discussion of what is or is not a coup is pointless like my personal example bolsonaro calls the brazilian military coup of 64, the 64 revolution, even though there is no space for discussion on this like it is one of the most obvious coups and time has only made it more obvious but it is about creating a narrative saying that it would be better if we went back to that.
