In the US most students recite “the pledge of allegiance” every morning before school, which is kind of crazy. If you were in charge, what if anything would you replace it with?
How myopic.
- Trump literally tried to overthrow Democracy in a failed coup attempt and to this day continues to spread the Big Lie.
- Hitler’s first coup attempt failed, too.
- You in 1930s post-Beer Hall Putsch: “Relax, Hitler won’t try again.”
If you believe this in any capacity, then you really haven’t been paying any attention of the past 8 years, have you?
To perform a coup you must get the keys to power and the people with guns on your side. I dont think he or a couple hundred idiots have that kind of capability.
Competency has fundamentally zero bearing on identification of a coup. This was a thousand or more idiots who brought gallows, pipe bombs, and stormed the Capitol violently while chanting threats to leaders and trying to instruct Mike Pence to stop the election.
This was the President standing back and standing while this all happened. This was also a part of a wider conspiracy with the fake electors scheme.
The people with the majority of the guns (and weapons caches nearby), and the power (The President) were indeed in on it.

Trump tries to kill Democracy
You: “Yeah but he didn’t succeed this time, so all good!”
If it was a coup attempt be would have been charged if not executed. I trust the courts decision.
