I wouldn't say so myself obviously it's a very extreme form of protest but to claim it's an attempted coup d'état is a bit ridiculous IMO.

I'm certainly hoping it's not being masterminded by Trump. I did say he looks a bit nervous, like never before, so I think it's something he approved of but that started to go too far.

AllForIt

This all started with the media's absolutely appalling spin on how the election was going to go.

The polls were pure lies, and enabled by the meida.

Personally I think reports over voter fraud are extremely weak and I'm not supporting DT in trying to overturn the election whatsoever, just to be clear.

However it is clear as day why people are angry. Even some of the most anti-trump meida pundits I know were honest enough to admit that the media were appalling pre election in their bias. One pundit said "You'd think watching both the US and UK meida that Donald Trump would get no votes at all".

Biden only just won the election. He won pivotal states by <1% in some cases, which is why of course it took so long for the final result to be confirmed.

This is in large part due to our wretched western media, Spin Spin Spin. They cannot deny culpability for what has transpired. Of course it's not all their fault but they are bad actors in all this.

I suppose wait till it gets dark.

A coup requires a degree of competence. I'm surprised these individuals are bipedal to be honest.

How is there no police response to this

America is fundamentally and systematically racist.

The trigger happy cops suddenly finding their restraint in the face of white terrorists is an absolute disgrace and only serves to empower these mouth breathing, racist morons.

Not the first time we've seen it, remember the anti lockdown protests with all the gun-nuts a few months ago

Is this or isn't this an attempted coup d'état?

It looks like a nah from me.
Unless we see the army in key cities and state capitals waving Trump flags, it's a nutter protest

You don't think Reddit poster and Twitter people telling people you're all a bunch of racists/white privilege/white supremacists, you should all be rounded up, create lists of people, take land off ye (all things I've seen mentioned on twitter and places like /r/politics) isn't backing people into a corner. Never mind that a fair amount are likely low level cops or have family members who are that and they're asking for your jobs

Those sites are full of horrible people saying horrible things I agree.

But it is no excuse for cosplaying Ghost Recon and storming Capitol Hill or believing conspiracy nuts about election fraud. If you think reddit comments are enough to start a violent coup there's no hope for ya

Hilarious. What time is Mom picking them up in the minivan?

There is a lot of hyperbole about this situation. At the end of the day there were a few windows broken, may or may not be a cop injured. It's not good but in comparison the the deaths and destruction in places like Seattle and Portland during the year, it's pretty tame stuff.

Why? It's a show of force, designed to stop exactly what we are witnessing. They were criticised for taking this approach, so they take a hands off approach and get criticised again (by the 'left' in both instances). They can't win.

I missed the criticism that the police didn't take enough selfies...

Tell me how

They responded proportionally in the aforementioned image. A large show of force, don't **** about with us. Got criticsed for it. They try a different different approach, get criticized for it. And by the same people.

Given the thousands of BLM protests that went on last year, do you expect us to believe this nonsense that it was merely a shift in defense strategy being employed by security rather than being influence by who it was that was facing them?

Well, yes, I think the lads who looted and burned stuff back in the summer are also idiots who damaged their cause. Sure, storming the Capitol is worse than burning a Wendy's but imo neither should have happened.

One group were criminals that were widely condemned. The other group have the backing of the US president plus hundreds of gop senators.

But yeah of course just one side as bad as the other nonsense. This false equivalence is the ultimate way to cop out of this.

People who attacked the capital and democracy following a fascist?

This isn’t time. To even insinuate so is disgraceful

Endintheclowns

These 75 million Trump supporters aren't going away that's the issue. The real problem is when someone with Trumps ideas comes along but with a semblance of intelligence it will get really hairy.

these actions are not comparable "I disagree with both actions". One is anonymous internet invented proxies writing comments, i.e. meaningless discourse, the other is illegally rioting and invading the capitol building, endangering the public and injuring police officers.

And we are supposed to feel sorry for them because they read some mean words on the internet?

I mean AOC who isn't a random internet proxy was calling for lists of Trump supporters and donors to be kept tbf, and plenty of videos of trump supporters being harassed. Theres been a lot of dangerous rhetoric on the left around Trump and his supporters and whilst some is fair, a lot wasn't (more so on his supporters than Trump here)

This is simply pathetic. People here defending this attack on democracy would be outraged if BLM even appeared outside the Capitol.

It's never been a great democracy. The electoral college, the absurd idea of giving each state two senators, lobbying, etc... It's more of an oligarchy buoyed by high levels of patriotism and national wealth.

Why don’t they just tag these for what they are - lies and sedition

What is happening today might have been the best thing to root out the worst of the right more than what would have happened today went peacefully.

All these old takes about the right being peacefully are glorious though. They were exactly who everyone with common sense knew them to be.

CNN are creaming themselves trying to milk it to death. "Coup d'etat", "terrorism". The hyperbole is up to the max.

They are making it seem like the situation is escalating when it looks like people are dispersing peacefully. Embarrassing.

Hyperbole like calling this terrorism does nothing to alleviate the situation.

What else do you call it?

A group of people show up, attack a government building to stop a constitutional process, they assault people and damage property for political reasons.

terrorism
/ˈtɛrərɪzəm/

noun
the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
"the fight against terrorism"
