I see some violent protesters, but I don’t see a violent coup. You’re welcome to call that distinction without a difference, but it’s really not. We’ve had years of violent protest, that’s not what a coup is.
From what you said, it was unplanned, but also run by the president of the United States of America. Who is incompetent, but who also secured the presidency not just once, but twice.
Either way, it doesn’t matter. He won again, with the majority of the vote. It doesn’t seem like the American people believe there was a coup attempt — or they don’t care. He’ll serve out his term, and the same arguments with different actors will play out all over again in 2028.
JD Vance will probably be the Republican nominee, and he’ll be called the next Hitler. We’ll be told that fascism is on the ballot. People will either care or they won’t. Emotion-driven messaging will drive the election. No matter who wins, the country will probably not fall apart.
