>To be clear, the leader of the conservative party of the US recently attempted a coup. I simply can't imagine the level of bias and filter bubbled amount of media indoctrination it takes to say this with a straight face. The party of "freedom and guns" showed up with 500,000 people, left all their guns at home, but "attempted a coup"? Utterly ridiculous. This is what a coup looks like: https://www.occupy.com/sites/default/files/field/image/screen_shot_2019-01-28_at_5.53.34_pm.png?itok=feW6unR2 https://www.occupy.com/sites/default/files/field/image/scree... Notice the number of guns vs. flags. This is what a protest looks like: https://consortiumnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Jan_6_2021_Pres_Trump_Rally_Live_DC_Crowd.jpg https://consortiumnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Jan_6_... Notice the number of flags, and no guns whatsoever.

I can understand why you think the way you do and the way you construct your arguments, unlike some others in this thread, makes me believe you're genuine. But I hope you can see that there are a large number of people who see a physical assault on the peaceful transition of power as a threat to the continuance of our government. An existential threat. We are never going to change our minds on this and you have no right to ask us to overlook it because that's sort of like asking us to ignore an arsonist who we know set a fire, who has proclaimed the desire to set fires. Violence was used to disrupt the peaceful transition of power. Violence was used to disrupt the peaceful transition of power. Violence was used to disrupt the peaceful transition of power. How can you possibly ask people to look past this? With a straight face? You're one of those people, I suspect, who gets tripped up on literal definitions of things. It doesn't matter what, specifically, is an attempted coup and what isn't. People will use imprecise terminology and if you want to talk politics you may just have to grow up about that fact. Violence was used to disrupt the peaceful transition of power.

The man told the VP to make him POTUS and is now claiming that he will be reinstated in August. I can't imagine what information bubble you live in where this escapes you.
