< Does it have to be the military or other organized operations against the government before you can call it coup D'état
A riot like the one we saw in Jan couldn't this be called a kind of coup d'état ? We must look into what their purpose was. It may have been unorganized but their main goal was to prevent Joe Biden being elected President. Just an opinion Markus

None of the rioters had any firearms and even if they had succeeded in holding on to the Capitol for 24 hours, it would have made no difference whatsoever, Biden would still have become President on Jan. 20th.

Exactly, a real coup implies a realistic plan to actually seize power and there was none here. This is not a European government where whoever captures and holds the Reichstag becomes the de facto ruler of the country and the rest of the nation just falls into line. The mechanisms of our national authority are far too decentralized for that.

That's pretty simple. Post Selfies on FaceBook and say "Look at Me!"

I agree but there were far more serious players.

And exactly how many of those "Serious Players" came armed with AK's, M-16's, or any type serious weapons that generally are used to over throw a Government? You AIN'T doing it with a stick in this Country!
This Country gets taken over by Multi-Millionaires that lie and cheat and murder to get an office.

I stay out of this thread because it's really a dumpster fire, but this quote made me take notice. What event are you referring to here? Are you saying you watched people killed on the Capitol steps in Washington DC on Jan 6th? And by that I don't mean in person, but how did you see this? Or are you referring to something else?
