      Still not sure why protestors getting killed in the capitol means it was a coup attempt lol. Whether some idiots in the crowd coordinated on apps beforehand to try and get into Nancy Pelosi's office is far different than the entire operation being intended to make demands or take hostages or upset the transfer of power in any real/coercive way. They didn't accomplish that, and wouldn't have

      The Bolivian coup is different because there was blatant foreign/imperial meddling & jailing/exile of adversaries... so imo the comparison you made there was in bad faith

          So basically if voters believe their guy won and the Deep State reptile synthetics cheated them, they can say they are preventing Biden from doing a coup lol

          Whether something is a coup or a failed coup completely depends on legitimacy and whether one can be passed off as the other.

          You're trying to pass a failed non-coup attempt off as a failed coup attempt... and that's not really what evidence reveals

          but I guess if we lend most credence to what social media and MSM say, Trump's dastardly deeds may have carried us all straight into the pits of damnation if it weren't for Twitter bans and Mike Pence usurping Presidential authority

              Amy Schumer was arrested in the Capitol in 2018 during protests over the Kavanaugh confirmation

              check out this video.... the MAGAs weren't "let in" at every entrance,

              and I think it was a dicey situation overall, but to give the boomers & deadbeat MAGA dads the benefit of the doubt that they were definitely in sight of some "goal" is steel-manning their "movement" beyond recognition
