The Capitol rioters have joined a small but notorious cadre in the annals of history: a duo that since the end of World War II has attempted to stage coups against the United States of America, a university tracking project finds.

Really reaching with this one. Late 1940s? 11 people? ok.

Prepare for incoming.

    1. I'd say that lectern had at least some significance
    2. Well it definitely threatened any leaders being able to hold that lectern for the foreseeable future
    3. They did definitely use illegal and irregular means to seize and remove the lectern

      If 3 guys just grabbed the Black Rod before parliament opened and ran away it would be more of a coup than this.
