Trump tried to overturn the election result for _months_. It wasn't just one day and it certainly wasn't just "voters."
Even the people in the GOP who refused to back his coup attempt did not sever ties with Trump.
- totony 5y agoOverthrowing a vote which was manipulated is not a coup. What Trump did is he challenged the rightfulness of the vote for months in court. That's a far cry from what you're describing. Now, you may disagree (as the courts) that it was manipulated. Being wrong does not make what he did a coup.

- DarylZero 5y agoIt's a classic modern coup, to tell lies about the election and discard it.
