So they figured if they sat in the chairs everybody would just listen and accept it?
ok.
Those that think it was a legit coup will not have their minds changed. I get that.
Yep it was a Coup

No coup is "legit" unless it succeeds in holding power. This was a failed coup attempt.
Holy crap, you keep finding topics to be wrong about. There is such a thing as a "failed coup".
Jeebus...it's like you think Trump and his cronies weren't attempting this. Unreal.
He's not lying. We are a few years away from NOT being that free country so many claim we are.
We weren't as much as we thought before either but yes this is full steam ahead by the GOP not giving 2 ****s about anything than power out in the open.
Their base, for whatever reason, is completely fine with Republican authoritarian rule for the next 50 years, with no chance for power for the democrats. Minority rule. Democracy is slipping away very quickly. It's happening right in front of our faces. A third of the country either doesn't care or is too stupid to realize. ICHerky will be on here with a laughing emoji soon...because he's one of them.
He wants to be ruled.

40 years of Reagan/Libertarian Bullshit and the cuffs off alt right toxic trash media being sold as normal/mainstream after Fairness Doctrine rescinded.
It almost sounds like you're kinda pissed that it wasn't a SUCCESSFUL coup attempt. "It was just a failed attempt! No big deal! Stop making a mountain out of a molehill."
"The guy with the knife didn't succeed in murdering me. He just cut my hand off and stabbed me a few times. It's not like he actually killed me!"
The fact that people died doesn't equate to an attempted coup to you?
They weren't tourists like some congressional critters want to believe.
It’s thread like this one that make me harken back to the innocent days after the election when I was told that us Libs needed to settle down, and Trump would soon be gone. Guardrails were in place, and nothing was actually happening that would keep him in power.
You guys sure nailed that. The only thing that stopped Trump was his continual half assing of everything, and the fact he hires only the cheapest, worst underlings. If he’d hired better conspirators he’d be ruling with a boot to the back of the neck of democracy.

But it's NOT under wraps. Everyone but right wing ostriches knows about it.
It's just hard to prove.
Is this an admission that you lack the imagination Walsh was talking about?
What exactly are you talking about? Trump and his goons certainly looked at different undemocratic means in trying to maintain power. But I don't see a connection back between them and the nuts from the 1/6 event from the perspective of coordination. If there was one, I really expect it would've emerged by now.
A coup can occur without military support.
Let's stop calling them crazies, it belittles the severity of their actions and it belittles our democracy.
Insurrectionist is the proper term.
Trump's desperation is the right wing's desperation. It's impossible to distance yourselves from his goons (Republicans/white supremacists) and idiotic fantasies (conspiracy theories) because his supporters still believe them.
Nothing to see here I guess. DWS
For those who say to take a chill pill, they can go F themselves.
My son knew a kid in middle school that tweeted or posted something about harming the president. This would have been 11 or 12 years ago. He and his parents received a visit from the FBI. How in god’s name does this crap with adults go ignored.
