In a few decades, history books will inevitably tie these events to the US losing its dominant economic position to China (+ Chinese apps like Tiktok getting popular, and a Chinese virus being far more damaging to the US than to themselves).

Historians love it when they can connect things of which "people at the time didn't even see the connection!".

Perhaps that's why they're trying to invade themselves now?

Getting into semantics but definition of Coup implies success.  It was an attempted Coup that failed how I would word it.

American Patriots. We love them. They're very special. 

Is banning him (or anyone) a good thing though? Does that actually help to calm down the situation? Doesn't that just polarise the whole political climate even more?

Also, I'm very much not a fan of the idea that we just let private companies censor what we don't like (and even encourage them to do that). These companies have a huge impact on how people see the world, they have the power to steer people's opinions in any direction they want.

Whatever makes the orange dude turn red. 

He should've been banned years ago because of him going against the policies of those social network afaik.

To be honest, these things are connected. The issue most people don't see but historians do is that the US is in irreversible decline. You can't magically take 800,000,000+ people (US+Allies) and pit them against 1,400,000,000+ people (Russia+China+Iraq+Iran+Syria+Venezuela+Cuba+Turkey+Bolivia+Belarus+Caucasus+Hungary-spies and refugees and the remaining dissidence) and expect that the minority population mass will somehow overrule the rest alone. The only hope the US had was to stall the ascent of opposing larger states or break them up. 

This I'm actually worried about. When terrorists make a bomb, they usually leave it where they will have the most impact. Thankfully they were not enabled. 

They ran out of targets. 

I mean, all the ones they could invade now would be literal mincers (Venezuela is the easiest target they have now, and they run the risk of Cuba getting in the way and the whole continent turning against them all. Iran is Iraq 4.0 and would make Vietnam look like a cakewalk. Everything after that has nuclear weapons and either access to titanic armies (Turkey), remote weaponry (Russia) or a huge amount of troops with the numbers needed to drown a soldier with people. 

So they themselves were the easier targets. 

I'm just glad people finally realized the US never really was a first world country and were more of a "Super Argentina" than anything else. They should've realized this in 2019 though. 

Shower thoughts: Could Pence realistically throw Trump under the bus now?
Think about it. He would be seen as a more sensible style of Republican and gain some respect on the Democratic side as the guy who finally let Trump fall in his final days. If I would be in his position and have aspirations for the presidency one day, that's what I would do.
Then again, I'm not American.

Jailed for a crime I didn't even commit! Attempted coup, now honestly, what is that? Do they give a Nobel Prize for attempted chemistry? Do they?

At the very least, we get a break from his constant twitter rants. I'll take it.
