I guess that was the "Trump coup." A few over-heated Trump fans barged into the Capitol. One of them was shot by a Capitol cop, thereby making this a "deadly" riot. Then their President told them to go home and cut it out, and they seem to be doing that.
But holy shit, did this "coup" (get serious!) ever unleash a tsunami of over-the-top bullshit about the sanctity of America's God-ordained democracy which is a light unto the nations, at least the ones they're not bombing or sanctioning into oblivion.
The crass stinking hypocrisy of those commentators who applaud every Maidan and Tahrir engineered by the USA now feign horror at a little public unrest in DC. We spend billions getting this kind of shit started in capitals all over the world. What continues to amaze me is how the wizards of narrative management bamboozle tens of millions into believing, quite passionately in many cases, that it makes one iota of difference who sits in the Oval Office.
A substantial majority of the American populace knows the status quo ain't working for them. Sooner or later, democracy is coming to the USA.
