This was a coup attempt that involved breaking into congress to stop presidential succession. Are you suggesting the two are comparable?

i want to add again, this wasn't a coup attempt. You dilute those words and they become meaningless. It hurts the people who have lived through and suffered from real coups.

This was at least very, very close to what they term an "auto-coup" - a coup by a leader who lost an election, thrown in order to remain in power.

So presidential succession was stopped and congress was killed? No? I think you are making shit up.

And so if I walk into a bank and demand money, but I don't get any, it's not a bank robbery?

That's an interesting legal angle.
