What it's actually a coup?

They did not all get together before hand in order to coordinate an "insurrection." Many of them are now being prosecuted for things other than "insurrection, for some sort of trespassing, assault, property damage, etc. There is one now, If I remember correctly, who is being charged with some variety of insurrecion.

So far, there is no evidence, if I remember correctly, that those protesters who have been arrested had any ties to some alleged Trump conspiracy. And the numbers of "protesters" who were peaceful hugely, vastly, greatly, immensely, outnumber those who were not peaceful. So it was, indeed, if I remember correctly, as DeBarr said, a mostly peaceful protest. Calling the rally an insurrgency or a coup is ridiculous.

If the judge who said that it is more likely than not that there was some sort illegal "coup" plotted by Trump, that is a different story, and yet to be proven. If I remember correctly, the plot that was cooked up was alleged by the cookers to be constitutional. If so, then any "coup" that would result would not be illegal. And if the intent was to stay within the bounds of constitutionality, and the plot was not actually carried out, then it was a mistake that didn't happen.

Of course, with the right DOJ and jury, it can be made out to be what ever the prosecution desires.

So you buy into the green bay sweep as being constitutional? I can see you sitting on your plastic covered sofa, getting a woody as Navarrow uses his animated hand gestures to bring home the key points of the sweep in order to make it appear logical and constitutional. Just because all the evidence isn't yet available, doesn't mean there was illegality planned and coordination with many in and out of the white house. Trump has for his entire life used people to do his dirty work and in such a way that he has been difficult to charge, his final days in office were probably no different.
