But the coup was unsuccessful solely by dumb luck!
Is not the ringing endorsement of American stability and greatness you think it is. Especially when none of the coup planners have been charged, let alone imprisoned.

It wasn't a coup. Nor a coup attempt. It was a protest against an election that many people considered fraudulent that got out of hand.
Exactly why it got out of hand and who encouraged that is another topic.
History suggests we have about ten years until the consequences of leaving the plotters unpunished come back to us. The people in charge now will mostly be retired or dead of old age.
Maybe Jan. 6 still clears that bar. I don't know enough of the details to say that it doesn't.
OK, it became a coup attempt the moment someone shouted "Hang Mike Pence!" at a riot where some people built a gallows, some people roved around inside the building carrying Tasers and handcuffs, and some other people brought firearms, ammunition, and IEDs.
But I imagine you'll just move the bar^H^H^Hgoalposts again, because that's what Trump apologists are good at.
Meanwhile, holy shit, imagine if those people really had been the BLM and Antifa agitators that the Republicans tried so desperately to tell us they were.

On the off chance that's true, I would say that this is an excellent time to start paying attention to what's going on. Again, we have about 10 years, give or take, going by the example of the Beer Hall Putsch.
You are bringing a lot of vitriol to the table, unprompted. A personal failing is that I can't help but respond, but I am able to leave it at that.
