    a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government.
    "he was overthrown in an army coup"

    Since Trump was the POTUS, who lost power?

    Who was overthrown?

    Sudden? maybe. Violent? Ok. Seizure of power? Not even close.
    True that. Attempted coup d'etat. Rather than a coup d'etat.

    I stand corrected.

    The "attempted" is subjective to opinion so we can agree to disagree.

    Now stop reverting and tell WH what you've discovered in your travels.

    Trump tried to get the election thrown out and remain in office beyond his term. Those efforts continued right up until the night of Jan. 6th, 2021. It was an attempted autocoup.

    Silly sounding word, but with certain semantic diddlers and fiddlers in this forum, the next door neighbor won't do -- words conforming seamlessly to Merriam-Webster's are demanded.

    I Would actually like to hear OP’s assessment of Jan 6 and Trump’s performance more broadly. Yani always struck me as more of a died in the wool conservative and less of a party stooge.

    "The sudden overthrow of a government by a usually small group of persons in or previously in positions of authority."

    The attempt by Donald Trump and the small group of supporters in positions of authority to set aside the results of a legitimate election easily meets this reasonable definition a coup d'etat.

    What else would you call it? "lockerroom talk"?

    The call to Brad, the Eastman memo, the pressure campaign on Pence to throw out the election, 59 evidence free election challenges, phone calls to state/local officials to overturn the election, the 38 page power point presentation Mark Meadows shopped around on Capitol Hill just prior to Jan 6th, the Capitol Riot Trumplandia hyped for a month previous to that, are you blind?

    TDS

    Running rampant in 2022 red team primary campaigning.
    Pick a side on what Jan 6 actually was.

    McConnell is now betting this was not a picnic. They red team can’t shake the orange tinge and is worried. Appears some red team members are now taking Jan 6 investigations seriously in order to get the orange monkey out of their hair.

    Its your team displaying the TDS, dont hide from it, own it.
    Go convince the other half of the party to stick with Trump.
    And then await the results in 2022 in peaceful agony (Is this even possible?)
