I saw the whole thing as an absolute joke, but they're treating it like it was an actual terrorist strike or something. "An AtTaCk On DeMoCrAcY", fuck off, it was some people wandering inside the Capitol because the cops let them in. I think like two people died and one of them was a cop, one of them was the taser balls guy.
Remember when they wanted to make some cop Time's person of the year for being there on Jan 6th? lol.
January 6th was one the best days of my life. It was really really funny. My enemies fought my enemies, people wore silly costumes. As far as I'm concerned corned the worst part about it is once again liberals not knowing a good time when they see one. I was a covid welfare queen at the time and it kinda kicked ass to be Canadian, i had also found out anyone on covid assistance who started a 'small business' could also get like ten grand in grant money so I started an easy store literally selling twigs and rocks I found in the woods, faked some sales by having friends 'buy' this bullshit and give em the money back later. I was having an amazing day. My roommate even scored genuinely good crack a travelling kid from out west had brought as a bargaining chip to crash on our coach. Getting ripped and seeing the funniest thing ever happen on the news ever being taken as serious was just awesome.
Real galaxy brain take.
The coup is not when you go on TV to declare yourself president for life.
The coup is when you get the army and industry onboard to the point you aren't arrested as soon as you go to bed after making that speech.
Even if
had showed up with technicals, mortars and IEDs, amd gone on to execute every sitting member of congress, it's not like Goldman Sachs and Microsoft would have started to take orders from them. It never had the potential to last longer than mobilization of the National Guard would have taken, because there was no movment or actual power behind it.
That's a successful coup. But even an unsuccessful coup can get a lot of people killed. That's my concern. I'm not American; I don't care who sits in the White House.
