A Coup doesn't disband. The protestors had complete control of the Capitol and they just left. The fact that the headline is "Yep, it was a coup" makes it clear their opinion piece is coping hard. | |||

I guess their plan wasn’t to hold the capital against the military because that would be completely impossible…
…but rather to inspire a nationwide revolt like successful coups against governments in other countries have occurred in the past There’s just one problem with that: you’d need the majority of citizens behind your revolt, and repubs already weren’t the majority. And lo and behold the majority of citizens didn’t want to follow a mentally ill man in a bear costume and a hick taking a dump on Nancy Pelosi’s desk. Surprise surprise Still a terrible plan, still got literally nowhere with “taking over the gov’t” | ||

It's laughable to call it a coup. Pure hyperbole and simpy histrionics. | |||

Almost ALL real Coups involve the military, with tanks and actual weapons.
The Capitol police were just overrun by protestors. Sorry the US government was embarrassed, but they can't cope that away by claiming it was a coup [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

“However delusional, incompetent or doomed to failure it might have been, every action to keep the powers of the presidency in Trump’s hands past noon on Jan. 20, 2021, was part of an attempted coup. It is the seriousness of this goal, if not the seriousness of its execution, which makes it a coup attempt.”
Really semantics IMO, unless we are going to say that the crazy crackhead homeless person saying they are going to kill the president because the president put a tracking device up his asshole is an “assassination attempt” on Joe Biden | ||
