Was the Russian Collusion scam a coup d'etat?
No. It was a federal investigation following the discovery that Russia interfered in the election.

I am getting sick and tired of so many MAGA Republicans spinning the collusion investigation into an "attempted coup" or a "conspiracy". Funny how they never took this line until they actually participated in a conspiracy and an attempted coup. False equivalence and whataboutism is literally all they have to defend the actions of the modern Republican party.

By that definition, isn't any organized attack on police an insurrection, since that is a revolt against civil authority? The police has the authority yo enforces the law. The definition above, actually places revolve against civil authority, ahead of an established government.

The riots of the summer of 2020 should also be called national wide insurrections, since these led to destruction and revolve against a wide range of civil authority; looting and burning police stations. The lawlessness was a revolt against civil authority.

Based on final costs and injuries, the Left wing summer of insurrection was far more organized and prepared to do damage. They won the battle of insurrections, in both number and scope. The Capital protest was small in scale and very weak in outcome.

They were not very prepared to have the very best insurrection they could. The Democrats, who really know how to have an insurrection, were much better prepare, all over the country, at the same time, in the summer of 2020. Their insurrection was a warning of what to expect if they did not win in 2020.

Why didn't both sets of insurrections see the same fate? Fascist think they are the law so they will define each as different. Only a Fascist can get away with an insurrection.

Was the Russian Collusion scam a coup d'etat?

A coup d'état (/ˌkuːdeɪˈtɑː/ ( listen); French for 'stroke of state';[1] plural coups d'état (same pronunciation)), also known as a coup or overthrow, is a seizure and removal of a government and its powers.[2][3]

Typically, it is an illegal seizure of power by a political faction, politician, cult, rebel group, military, or a dictator.[4][5]Many scholars consider a coup successful when the usurpers seize and hold power for at least seven days.[4]

The Coup d'etat by the Democrats was not fully successful, since Trump did not lose control for seven days. But it did control the FBI, CIA and fake news to promote a lie, as a pretense to over throw a dually elected president. Why has this Coup not been punished? Is it the same reason as the summer of insurrections? Fascism? Fascist do not see their actions are illegal but a form of righteousness.
Sorry, too many Fox "News" and Newsmax buzz words in this post for me. You should try some actual news sources.

Just going to point out that your definition of "coup d'etat" pretty much describes what was attempted on January 6th. Trump, and his angry mob of cult members stormed the Capitol with the hopes of overthrowing an elected government, violently attacking security personnel, and apparently hoping to kill some members of Congress along the way ("Hang Mike Pence!"), while also looting and pillaging the place. They just didn't hold it for seven days because somebody finally convinced Trump to tell them to go home. Many of the participants have been charged with seditious conspiracy so it sounds like lawmakers agree with me on this and disagree with you.

There is no equivalent with "the Democrats," but even if there was, that wouldn't make it okay, right?

Yep.

The same Lauren Boebart that was whining to Congress that Newsmax's parent company should have to keep them on the air even though they don't make any money for the company and that taking them off the air amounted to them being "cancelled." That Lauren Boebart? That doesn't sound like capitalism to me - wanting the government to interfere with free commerce. Hmmm, what does it sound like ..., let me think. ;)

Yes, and he has done this repeatedly, even after being shown sources to get it straightened out.

I hold many views that might be considered “fascist”. I have never denied that. However… I am proud of my country as it is. I am completely down with America remaining a Democratic Republic, because I love this land as it is, and because is precious to me, in all its aspects.

There is no country I would rather live in more than the United States of America.

Have you lived anywhere else?

I agree that the right wing is essentially comprised of closet fascists.

I also think the left wing is essentially comprised of closet fascists.

Mainly because I think the human race is essentially comprised of closet fascists.

And the closet has a glass door.

Have you lived anywhere else?

Maybe. Maybe not.

If someone from Norway, China, or Uganda tells me that they love their country, and it is precious to them, and there is no place they would rather live… then I am glad for them. There is a part of me that deeply respects that. If they tell me that their country “is the greatest country in the world”, I am not likely to take offense and begin arguing with their opinion. I understand it, and I relate to it. I resonate with it. I respect the fact that they have taken great pride in their land, their culture, and their people. This is something that I encourage no matter where you call home.
