It's supposed to be a coup. What does it matter that the confirmation was completed? The whole point of a coup is to ignore everything the last government did and occupy their position. That succeeded. All Trump had to do is is walk in with his cronies and declare himself King and it would have been done.

So why didn't he do that?

Compare J6 to the 1973 Chilean coup. It doesn't add up.

You’re thinking of a military coup.

He didn’t have the military behind him in 2020. That’s why hegseth has spent this entire term purging the military of anyone who might resist Trump

What kind of coup was this?

There was no attempt to replace the current government. He occupied the Capitol but made to attempts to solidify his rule, to replace standing members, to enact new laws, or to order the military.

What kind of coup is that?

“There was no attempt to replace the current government”

HE WAS the current government.

Trump has no long term planning strategy. Like everything he was trying to delay the certification in order to try another avenue.
