> had just watched a summer of leftist riots where the police and politicians did nothing to stop it,  i mean that's also objectively untrue but okay. > so they decided to do a bit of their own unruly protesting. it was stupid, it was ineffective, but it was no an attempt to overthrow the government.  two wrongs don't make a right and it went far further than anything that happened during those riots if you seriously thing that shit was a coup attempt, it tells me you are both politically and historically illiterate. it was an attempt orchestrated by trump to impede the election and force/pressure mike pence to make him the president again. that is a coup attempt
