If you've heard testimonies from actual coups, you know nobody is naive enough to think they're going to seize State power from one of the most powerful colonial empires on Earth without tons of weapons.

I agree with you there was a conspiracy with some Trump-loving higher-ups in the security establishment paving the way for the protest, but you can never call a few hundred fascists a "coup" unless they all have a gun and are dropping bombs at key sites to destabilize opposition.

It's also important to note that these fascist networks have access to considerable amounts of weapons. The fact they were not brought along indicates they were not planning a coup. To be clear, i believe Trump himself was planning a coup, but most fascists attending the demo did not because Trump did not request that aloud.
