"cheesy and hyperbolic"? What would have happened if the coup was successful? Or what would have happened just if those quick thinking staffers didn't grab the ballot box while taking shelter before the legislature was breached? There was nothing "cheesy" about it. It was deadly serious; literally, people died.
- NaturalPhallacy 5y agoWhat coup? The party of gun ownership showing up to protest without their guns is not a coup attempt. And it's ridiculous to say that it was. There were like 100,000 people there, and they counted a guy who died of a stroke the next day as a death. There's literally videos of them casually walking around and obeying the velvet ropes cordoning things off. There's also videos of them being let in. One guy was recently just acquitted for exactly that reason. The real reason it's being overblown is the protesters accidentally showed the nation that you can just show up en masse at congress and demand change. They really don't want that idea spreading. They might have to actually represent their constituency instead of their oligarch donors. That would be very bad for campaign funding.
