When did an unorganized rush on the Capitol become a "coup"?

I can't believe people actually believe this.

74 million Americans voted for Trump. It would not be hard to find 6-8 highly trained exmilitary to lead the charge. With the level of security they could have easily taken the Capital.

Instead the "coup" was led by a guy from Arkansas who wanted to prop his feet up on Nancy's desk. GTFOH

I don’t think anyone has even tried to claim the dumbass from 10 miles away from me was the leader of the events on Wednesday.

He and Buffalo boy are the poster children for it because they provided the best visuals.

It wasn't a coup. But let's not pretend that the sentiment wasn't present amongst many who participated.

The MSM's Ministry of Agitprop has determined that their followers are dumb enough to believe it.

Time to start calling for the Impeachment of Corrupt Joe Xiden!!!

Dems set the precedent, it's not about anything except politics. Impeach him!

Even if it will not pass, start the Impeachment!!!

It was about as much a coup as a panty raid.

99.9% of those protesters just wanted to see inside that capital building because it was their first trip to DC.

They didn't hurt a thing took some selfies and went home after they were allowed in by capital police.

This whole thing is way overblown by MSM.

That was a mostly peaceful protest except for a few Antifa dressed as Trump supporters that tried to ruin it for everyone else.

Those who stormed the capital were populist, several white nationalist and fringe Q folks. Good for them they made themselves known internationally as threats and will be dealt with from now on as such.


Trump now will go down in history as one of the top 5 worst Presidents ever. He literally destroyed his own legacy because of his own love for himself.

This isn't peter pan...no they didn't.

People that believe Nancy somehow gained power from that are foolish.

Point being what? The question is was it organized or orchestrated to overthrow a government.

this 200 pg Twitter thread explains the psychology behind the coup belief

I do not buy into everything this guy says but it's going viral and being seen as a legitimate organized attempt to overthrow the capitol

Yep, and they way I look at conservatives are in a win/win situation. If the Democrats do a good job of leading our nation and the economy is booming like it was in the first 3 years under President Trump, then fine I will be happy.
But what is much more likely based on their agend:
1. They will pass gun legislation that will violate the 2nd Amendment which could lead to civil war.
2. They will legalize 20 million illegal immigrants and allow open borders will continue the already massive unemployment, increased government dependency and federal debt.
3. They will continue to increase the minimum wage which will drive up inflation and cause even more small businesses to got out of business.
4. They will remove Trump's tariffs against China will be increase the trade deficit and decrease government revenue.
5. They will increase taxes to pay for all the handouts driving even more business out of the U.S. to China and other cheap labor opportunities which will eventually lead to even less tax revenue. And I would add that it's rather ironic that Apple, HP and other U.S. businesses who support liberal government policies are the same companies that have moved manufacturing operations to China.

Buffalo Boy was an ex-Marine. That headdress had a Go Pro in it.

By these standards Kamala should be in-peached. She helped to raise money to bail out real domestic terrorists.

You forgot your trademark symbol

And you are showing you aren’t as smart as you think you are by claiming the media and Dems haven’t created propaganda against Trump and the people that voted for him.

You think every CEO of these social media platforms just out of nowhere banned Trump in less that 36 hours after Wednesday’s events? No, that was the plan all along. All Wednesday did was move the timeframe up 2 weeks.
