Coup

Recent news reports suggested by three retired generals warn of a possible coup in the 2024 election. While this is unlikely it does suggest a way this could happen, that rouge military leaders would ban together to take over. This is the way coups usually happen. Contrast that with the 2000 people waving flags and clubs who entered the Capitol building on January 6. The rioters entered the Capitol at 2:11 PM and the building was cleared at 6 PM. The senate was back in session at 9 PM. Last summer Biden mocked gun-rights advocates who say they need assault weapons to fight the government: 'You need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons'. While the January 6 riot was dangerous and must be investigated it is difficult to see how they could have carried out a coup.
