'Hang Mike Pence'
Do you always believe what people are shouting? I guess, we need to arrest lots of hockey/football/etc. fans for conspiracy to kill the referees. If these supremacists and militia were so serious, why the only causalities were among the protesters? Some coup... You Liberals want to use big words like racism and coup all the time and it really diminishes their meaning.
Another term the Repugs want to twist out of all recognition. Now Noah Webster is turning over in his grave...
Send? Really? There was a government order? Regular police/military were a part of that violent protests? Whom exactly of the protesters the president was a commander?
Fall, you asked if a bunch of drunk Americans crashing the Canadian border was an "act of war". Despite it being an irrelevant and silly analogy, I said it wouldn't, because it would not be an official US govt action.
So, storming the Capitol was an official U.S. government action? You mean some U.S. official gave an order to his subordinates who had to follow it because they were government employees? But, please, do not let facts to stay on the way of your truth.
It's the "wokesters"!
I'm sorry you don't understand language or context well.I am sorry, but anyone who look at this photo and still call Jan 6 event "insurrection" or "coup" is an idiot who do not know what a coup is. I do not see any tanks storming the Capitol, I only see a bunch of idiots. Hell, they do not even try to kill the policemen. So, please, stop using big words to describe Jan 6 events.
I get it.
Are you claiming it was 'sarcasm'?
A coup doesn't require tanks in the street. In this case, the people running riot were just one part of the coup. The coup was actually being attempted by the Trump administration who got those people out in the streets. The term self-coup is the best description I have seen.

No, Fall.
So do I. But not when they simply say something. This is why BLM and Jan 6 Capitol events were of the same sort and equally bad. Unlike Freedom Convoy which mostly traffic and noise inconvinience.
Yep, I am with you on this one. It was not a coup nor an insurrection. Just a bunch of idiots who want to shout, get in a fight, and show themselves how tough they are. Calling it a coup is not just a gross exaggeration, it is simply wrong.
Like I've said, if the "it wasn't a coup" people want to argue it was an autogolpe, that's fine.A coup doesn't require tanks in the street. In this case, the people running riot were just one part of the coup. The coup was actually being attempted by the Trump administration who got those people out in the streets. The term self-coup is the best description I have seen.
From a group that studies things like coups for a living:
No, it’s not a coup — It’s a failed ‘self-coup’ that will undermine US leadership and democracy worldwide
Latin America has a history of autogolpes, or “self-coups.” Charles Call explains how that legacy can help explain what has happened in America since the November election.
