Well with one glaring exception they were mostly greeted with selfies with the police.
They'll still argue it. That kind of person will make any kind of excuse for anything needed in order to support their personal world view.I remember what seemed like years ago, we were talking about a bloodless coup and "some" on this thread wanted to make an argument, what the definition of a "coup" was. I wonder what they think now having seen what happened yesterday!
As one pundit put it, technically it wasn't a coup attempt because it wasn't using state security forces.I remember what seemed like years ago, we were talking about a bloodless coup and "some" on this thread wanted to make an argument, what the definition of a "coup" was.

Turns out we definitely needed a coup thread
Yes, Bill Maher is going to have a field day with this.I said from the very beginning that Donald Trump was a cult, I said this way way back at the very beginning of this Trump candidacy and then administration. My warnings didn’t catch on until I began hearing Bill Maher start saying this also. First it was me, and then Bill Maher. And here we are years later and guess what folks..... ITS A FUCKING CULT AND A COUP.

To be clear, Yglesias was being sarcastic.What definition are we using and are we at the point of changing definitions?
Coup:
a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government.
Doesnt matter where it comes from or who instigated it. A coup is overthrow of a govt and yesterday was a clear attempt.
Look, it's only a true coup d'etat if it comes from the Coup d'état region of France. Otherwise, it's just a sparkling insurrection.
Fuck off, traitor.lol you call raiding a building with a bunch of morons to be a coup?
Whatever you want to tell yourself little buddy.
Every coup that has ever existed has always resulted in a bloody mess. The only bloody mess was from the people you proclaim are doing the coop - which was one woman that was dumb enough to think jumping into broken windows is her god-given right for whatever reason.
I didn't see a single gun or assault rifle on the side of Trumpanzee Qanon morons. Outside of perhaps an officer tripping while back-tracking from the mob, I didn't see a single officer get pummeled and then beaten the shit out of by a mob of people.
Do you need to have the definition of coup looked up for you folks, AGAIN?
A) Why on earth would you quote my obvious joke for your screed?lol you call raiding a building with a bunch of morons to be a coup?

-This woman was walking home. She lives just two blocks away from LA City Hall where a “Stop the Steal” MAGA Rally was taking place. As she walked through the crowd of unmasked trump supporters, they began to yell, asking her if she had voted for Trump. She said no, flipped them off and kept walking and talking on the phone. A mob of at least 20 Trump supporters circled her and all began screaming in her face and pushing her between each other. One woman reached over and tore off her wig while calling her a “ N*gger Bitch “ Men holding flag poles began beating her alongside others who were punching her. At one point a trump supporter grabbed her from behind, restricting her ability to defend herself , as she continued to get maced right in the eyes. The police line was right behind me in this photo. Not one officer stepped in. It took two bystanders and myself dragging her out and running over to the police line for safety. No arrests were made.
