So another "maiden" -type coup.
Also known as a "color revolution"
Also what they tried in June 2020 here on American soil.
The Real Jan 6 Was The Friends We Made Along The Way

No one believes the United States Congress is “legitimate”. As a group they are universally despised. This is not a novel circumstance – there hasn’t been a day since 1800 or so when a double-digit percentage of the population didn’t prefer a double-digit percentage of Congress erected on the trees conveniently planted mere yards away on the National Mall (their congressman is of course wonderful for helping them out with their VA pension and so on). Their approval rating is lower than that of HIV.
This is for a good reason. Notoriously corrupt and ineffectual, their primary role is channeling the grift that a $6.6 trillion federal budget can provide (not counting the Federal Reserve’s formally unlimited resources, which lack even the pretense of political control, or “compliance” mandates enforced on a putatively private sector) and taking, all things considered, a modest commission for their services. Pelosi gets top billing because of her relative lack of subtlety, but a plurality of the institution is on the take on various levels.
That merely accounts for the financial corruption – no one who has met a living, breathing legislator is under the misapprehension that they are a Big Man squeezing out their cut like Tony Soprano. Their take is for the most part the equivalent to a doorman’s Christmas tip – they keep things running smoothly, but everyone is aware they are ultimately disposable, which is why there is a marked lack of shock when it turns out they have self-destruct buttons embedded in their careers and are selected to begin with for pliability. Ultimately, they do as they are told or are replaced.
Encountering an angry mob, then, should be treated as a natural entailment of the position, like a mailman occasionally encountering a snarling dog. This is why they make the big bucks – serving as a physical locus of disdain so the people actually running the country don’t have to trouble themselves with the banalities of legislation. Also entailed in the position is hysterical cowardice and histrionic fantasizing about their role in a drama orchestrated for the benefit of the viewing public.
Thus we have the spectacle of an utter humiliation – where a ragtag group of unarmed, unorganized, angry, and mostly peaceful protesters with a completely inchoate agenda nonetheless displayed more spine than the avatars of national political power, who they sent scurrying, fart-masked, into rat tunnels to await instructions on when and how they should vote. The fact that it was a bunch of rope-line-respecting costumed yahoos made it that much more bitter. This wasn’t some Channing Tatum action movie with a crew of Spetsnaz mercs synchronizing their watches for the Big Job (at least on the protestor side). It wasn’t even the secret police waving guns in their face at 3AM (another occupational hazard that, statistically, twenty or so of them have to look forward to). Aside from the horror in the tunnel, a good portion of the footage could be set to Yakety Sax.
