I think of myself as a serious person and what went down surrounding the 2020 election absolutely looked like a coup to me. The sitting President and his associates tried to prevent people from voting; once votes were cast they tried to prevent them from being fully counted; once the votes were counted they tried to get the votes thrown out; once the votes were included, they tried, by force, to prevent the election from being certified. The sitting President and his associates actively stoked a riot and prevented additional support from police and national guard from being provided to secure the Capitol. Taken in totality, that was a fucking coup attempt. A politician attempted to take power by force.
