That's bullshit. There's no terrorists and no coup. Bunch of people occupying one building for a couple of hours is a lamest "coup" ever existed, and something that antifa and other protestors have done many times, including occupying Wisconsin Capitol for several days: https://isthmus.com/news/cover-story/capitol-occupation-walk... That's days, not hours. Nobody said anything about "coup". And calling those people "terrorist" is a grave insult to the victims of actual terrorists. This idiotic overblown rhetoric is a propagandist trick, especially heinous after we've been told for months that nationwide riots that caused billions of damage and many dead and injured are "mostly peaceful".

There's a huge difference between American citizens protesting and ISIS. There's also a huge difference between the service that allows people some of whom support the same politician that some of the protestors to speak and ISIS. Declaring that any service that allows people who support the same politician as anybody who commits a crime to be the same as ISIS would make everybody in the US ISIS - e.g. James T. Hodgkinson supported Sanders, so any service that allows any Sanders supporter to speak now ISIS? Bullshit.
I agree that it was a lame coup, but that is par for the course with anything the right attempts. They failed but it wasn't for lack of trying.
A terrorist is anyone who perpetuates violence in order to achieve a political goal, and it is pretty clear that was the case when they attempted to stop the certification process.
As far as victims of terrorism are concerned, I think this officers family would be "gravely insulted" by how far you have managed to shove your head up your own ass.
You are either ignorant of what is happening or attempting to discount the reality of it. Either way you are part of the problem and I look forward to a day when sycophants like you are held accountable for your role in bringing us to the brink of fascism.
