January 6, 2021 wasn't an attempted coup. It was the final act in an actual one, the conclusion of the theft of the 2020 election, but it was stolen from Trump, not by him.

From Gadhafi's Green Book, "Housing" Housing is an essential need for both the individual and the family and should not be owned by others.
