The temper tantrum on Jan 6th was barely a coup attempt. There was no leadership, no real plan of action, and no point to simply squatting in the capital while representatives - scared out of their minds at the mob - rushed Biden’s certification through that much faster.
The fact that they are comfortable, detached and stupid
They’re not the ones who are getting picked up and slapped with criminal charges by the DC Area DA’s office. These were the clowns calling the Jan 6thers “Antifa” in the first hours of the riot and then quickly disassociating from them because of the embarrassment. They’re only cheering it on now, long after the dust settles, because its an easy grift and a fun little fantasy.
It was a full on coup attempt in which people stormed the fucking capitol and threatened to lynch politicians.
That the people behind these insane movements are getting away with it is not proof it wasn’t a coup attempt, it’s proof of the same shit that the nazis getting a slap on the wrist for the beer hall putsch and their elite supporters getting off scott free was.
people kinda just sauntered in as the cops stepped aside… climbing the walls and shit was unnecessary and more for dramatic effect than anything else… the vast majority of them just moseyed around the capitol and left when they were told to leave… a minority of them got uppity and a little bit pushy… but even they fucked right off once a gun was fired

You realise of course that “the police are complicit” is not a defense.
no but its not like there was a threat whatsoever… i watched that shit live… for weeks afterward even the state media weren’t sure what they witnessed
