Looks like lots of democratic countries are looking at us with envy and for inspiration these days.

For example, in the US in Jan 2021, there was a riot that some call a coup, and some do not.
Brazil might also count. I am not aware of the details.
People already part of the government could be involved in triggering an insurrection, such as with the Jacobins involved in the Insurrection of 1792, but it still counts as an insurrection and not a coup because it is carried out by the population, not by forces working for the government, such as assassins or the military.
No, an "attempted coup" means an attempt at a coup d'état. Probability of success doesn't matter for an attempt to be classified as an attempt, only intentions.
