"Why can't they pass an audit?" isn't an excuse or justification for the illegal coup that is happening right now in real time, which is what we're actually discussing, concern troll. You might as well be whining "Why can't I have a pony?" This is also not a discussion about how you can get a free pony, and how bad it makes you feel that you don't already have one. There are much more important issues to discuss, and your lack of a pony doesn't cancel them out or justify what Elon is doing in any way, which is the opposite of an audit. A mugger doesn't "audit" you wallet.

Oh, and Jan 6 wasn't a failed attempt at what this really is?

The fact of the matter is: your tiresome comment is the best argument/troll you've got, because it really IS a coup, and you're just whining that the term has been properly used for four years since Jan 6, and you're just getting tired of hearing it, because you have absolutely no valid counterarguments, as you've just self-humiliatingly demonstrated.

All your argument consists of is that we ALREADY told you so, because what's happening now vindicates our previous warnings and use of the term, and you're just tired of hearing it, but you're not tired of the actual coup, just defending and whitewashing it.

Edit: You need to look up the meaning of the word "hemisphere", troll.

January 6th was an attempted failed coup. No doubt. Failed coup.

The events of the past few weeks are not even in the same hemisphere as a coup, by definition of the word.

Who is trolling whom, exactly?
