If Obama had lost in 2012 and had pulled exactly what Trump pulled on January 6th using anarchists, BLM, and the Nation of Islam as soldiers, would you have called that a coup attempt?

Now imagine that months earlier a member of one of those groups had asked him what to do and he’d said “stand back, and stand by.”

I can't imagine anarchists thinking Obama would have been any better than Romney, and as for the Nation of Islam, in 2011 Farrakhan called Obama an assassin and a murder.

Your challenge to the premises isn't helpful. Sure, the parent comment poses a hypothetical question (and perhaps counterfactual), but it's clearly designed to probe the GP comment's reasoning.
