      How were they trying to overthrow the government exactly?

        Oh, I dunno - possibly by storming the seat of government in the name of a guy who lost an election?

        Don’t play dumb. Or maybe you’re not playing…

          How does that overthrow the government?

          How many selfies do you have to take in a government building before the government is overthrown?

            So, it doesn’t count because they were incompetent and didn’t get what they wanted.

              What do you think they tried to do on that day that they failed to do?

                  You haven’t explained how exactly they were “trying to overthrow the government”. Surely they stormed it guns blazing, took prisoners, had a list of demands, etc……right?

                    But yes, they charged with guns and demanded for Trump to be president and his opponents be locked up.
