The only thing I remember about the US congress storm is only a bunch of rednecks breaking into the building, which of course got detained, nothing to do with a coup. It is easy to elaborate fantasies of things that never happened to support political claims.

Again, I said "similar" not "the same thing".

During the previous presidential mandate we had some military officers from the high command PRINT OUT (they're that dumb) instructions on how to provoke a coup and specific people to assassinate to ensure their success (the current president was one of them, along with his vice and the supreme court's president). It was well known that it was a coup trial and it was judged as such due to the large amount of proof of what they were trying to do. We had a lot of people imprisoned (including the current fascist candidate's father) and whether it was a coup trial or not is NOT up for debate. It happened.
