Lol I remember watching live and being like “holy fucking shit it’s actually happening. A fucking coup in fucking *America* what the *fuck*.”

And I kept watching 

And watching 

Wand watching. 

And nothing was happening lol

And then ultimately nothing did happen lol

Like what a fucking weird moment in history. 

I mean, there have been multiple bombings at the capital.  In the 70s Puerto Rican nationalists shot a bunch of members of Congress and weather underground bombed the place lol

In the 80s a communist group bombed the Capitol. 

In the 90s a crazy person shot up the Capitol and killed some people. 

Jan 6 is nothing compared to these events. 

It’s still a memorable event but end of the day it was just a loud fart.

I'm still trying to understand why people think it was an attempted coup. Like did they think that if the dumbass rioters somehow stayed in the building for 24 hours suddenly every government department would have to obey them? The police would just go "welp we can't do anything now. They're in charge. " What exactly is the logic behind calling it an "attempted coup" beyond trying to paint the right wing in a worse light?
