Let's talk about whether it was really a coup attempt....

This is a very well done video Beau, but you're far too kind and restrained by failing to point out that for Trumpers their rejection of the word 'coup' is nothing more than a Qult denial mechanism to shift blame away from Trump. You've probably noticed how many of them are still claiming it was 'Antifa' or the FBI that were the actual instigators of the violence, right? Just another denial mechanism for the same purpose. Reasonable people can quibble about the exact definition of 'coup' as you outline very well here, but Trumpers are not reasonable people, they are Fascist authoritarian bootlickers craving to be led by what they consider a powerful strongman (although how they manage to consider the fatass Trump with his effeminate dyed combover hairdo, his narcissistic neediness, his bone spurs cowardice, as some kind of 'strongman' is another question entirely) who will do their thinking for them and hurt all the people they've been conditioned to hate. It's a form of mass racist insanity we're up against, not philosophical hairsplitting over word definitions.
