@pkgandakin What bold action have they shown so far? They've backed down from the insurrection act at least twice now and ICE isn't enough for a coup. They have nothing that couldn't be countered by 50501 and NoKings effectively just texting people "time to do lib Jan 6th"
@MesaHimejoshi The thing is a coup requires the personal bravery of a lot of people who have shown themselves to not be very brave, against an opposition that is on guard and slated to quickly mobilize.
@AdsoOfBelk That's not equivalent though. Kangaroo court emphasizes the ad-hoc nature of the thing, the predetermined outcome is only implicit and it's fine to add it in for rhythm and emphasis. Your example would make sense if he had said "show trial" but he didn't.
