If the United States saw what was going on in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
"Let's talk about whether it was really a coup attempt." 1) They attacked while Congress was in session. YES.....it was a coup attempt. 2) They had zip tie hand cuffs in order to kidnap and mass murder Congress. YES, it as a coup attempt. 3) They chanted that they wanted to hang Mike Pence and stop the election certification. YES....it was a coup attempt. 4) It was actually a successful insurrection. They stopped Congress from certifying the election. That makes it a successful coup, no matter how short lived. YESSSSSS.........It was a coup attempt.
I remember making a comment in another video where he raised his voice and got angry, which actually put me on edge. While I agree that the one here comforts me, the one from back then where he essentially yells at Manchin for opposing a voting rights legislation made me feel really disconcerted for some reason. I think it's due to how his anger in that other video was in response to something that makes us feel powerless to fix, and his anger validates our concerns. This one here feels more like a father telling a delinquent child to sit in their place and get educated!
@@cuckoophendula8211 It is cathartic and validates how I feel most times. I know I’m not going crazy when I feel or think a certain way after I watch Beau’s video on the same issue. This is why I started watching Beau 5 yrs back. With all that bs back then about alternate facts and reasonable people becoming unreasonable in Trump’s wake, I had begun to wonder if I was the crazy one. Thank goodness for Beau and the Beaupeeps here.

He's a true southern redhead, they're a strong and strongwilled lot and I think that fire can be somewhat unsettling, but by all I hold dear, we NEED that fire. From my Florida Redhead to ole Beau, that fire has taught me some very humbling and powerful lessons. My personal favorite, being: "We don't have to win every day, we just have to fight every day." That fight can get a little scary sometimes by that's the truest thing I've heard in quite some time, both personally and for the political situation at-large.
Very effective, but use anger with care and as a last resort to make a point. Losing our right to vote is serious. It's time to be assertive. Kind, but assertive. Every law abiding citizen deserves the American right to vote. If you're only vocal on this channel, it's time to choose another one full of mislead people and talk to them. Honestly. "Daryl Davis it." (Put it on a Tshirt, Beau, I'll buy it). Until they get a kind person that wont back down when they are verbally assaulted, they won't hear any of this rational information. If they don't hear rational information, we'll have this happen again. I would rather not lose my right to vote. This is a good, VERY good reason to be angry. KIND.....but angry.
"If you can't identify a coup that happened in front of your face, then you have no business calling for a civil conflict." Bravo, Beau. Now, if only that were enforceable!

For my part, the imagery of hundreds of people crawling over the walls and breaking the windows of the Capitol building while brandishing flags and makeshift weapons is exactly my idea of a stereotypical coup. I mean, it's like a little kid's idea of what a coup would be. I'm dumbfounded that it actually happened, and more dumbfounded that I still have to argue with people sometimes who don't see what the big deal is.
"If you want a better country, you need to be better citizens." Citizenship doesn't mean being born or naturalized in the US. Citizenship means being informed, participating in good faith, and working towards a better future for everyone. Those who stormed the Capitol and those who deny that 1/6 was a coup attempt have failed as citizens.
In 2021, 155 million Americans went to the pols to elect our present president. Seventy four million for one guy and eighty one million for the other guy. The most to ever turn out for an American election ever. The highest percentage of the eligible, also. And yet........100 million Americans, many actually registered, did not vote early , go to the pols, to signify their vote, their choice; one third of the American population did not even attempt to fulfill this most critical citizen duty. We the People need to address this and a third of America needs to get it's collective head out of it's collective a........ FR
I mean, they failed as human beings well before they also failed as citizens. When the average house broken dog has a better understanding of objective reality than you, failing as a citizen is almost the least of your concerns.
From what was reported, it is not that it failed on its own, it is the fact that ALL of the attempts conflict with each other. It was like every one of Trump stooges was pulling the plan in different direction which can to a head when the riot began. At that point, EVERYONE, but Trump, know that keeping Trump in power would illegal the United States' standing in the world. They have a B.S. plan, not one but multi B.S. Plans. They ALL fall apart when The riot began. In a way, the insurrection started after Trump lost on Nov 3 and it was over on Jan 6. Ironically, base on what we know from reports a year later, the riot save democracy that day as it ruin the plans that were in place for Trump to remain in power. So in a way, Trump f**King himself and saved democracy that day. That is the BIGGEST F***K YOU anyone can give him. How bad does a person have to be to f**k himself over. Never in my life have I ever seen or heard or read of a Failer so great that it bogged the mind and yet here is Trump.
The 6th was bad and made me sick but frankly I am more worried about the passive political violence taking place in making it harder for people to vote. It is insidious, widespread and relentless.
True and it is dangerous. BTW while arguing about something else (Corona) somebody trotted out casually AGAIN the lie that voting by mail was and will be fraudulent and the Dems cheated. The Reps trying to manipulate things so that Dems can't vote is how THEY CHEAT. And they do it all the time. We HAVE to be vigilant.
That is a passive coup. They have been at it for years by gerrymandering districts. They ...repubs...know they will not be voted in without redistricting. We all know what is is leading up too...jan 6 or another coup attempt. The majority of us will die fighting for our freedoms while some still want a dictator and defend the actions on jan 6.

Correct... you guys cannot recognize the difference between a legitimate overthrow of government and the trolling that took place a year ago. This is why the left is in Cloud Cuckoo Land, absolutely.
A definition I found that fits: 1. "Insurrection" comes from below 2. "Coup" is from the top down. I leave it to you to decide. The fact that the leader of the United States was present and urged on his followers and supporters.... We know what we saw. And so do they.
@Natashaboris Except of course Trump mentioned going there peacefully (no doubt to cover himself). However the thing that’s most worrying is how easy the followers have ignored the evidence of their own eyes to follow a narrative. These are awful times for the United States.
@@emilymcplugger Going there peacefully, "..and fight like hell or we won't have a country anymore...". He pitched up election ideas to WH staff in an Oval office meeting, ideas to seize voting machines by DoHS, US military (Pentagon), or by another department.

“It really wasn’t all that violent” - Yes, tell that to Officer Eugene Goodman, Officer Michael Fanone, Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, Lt. Michael Byrd, or the family of Officer Brian D. Sicknick
Mike Fannone says they yelled "let's kill him with his own gun" while they bludgeoned him with confederate flag and Trump*Pence 2020 campaign flag poles and fire extinguishers and other cudgels.
The whole world saw it happen, and most saw the beginning of the coup in August 2020 _"The only way we're going to lose this election is if the election is rigged"._ No one is so stupid they actually believe it wasn't a coup attempt. Those who are claiming it wasn't, are obvious liars (bigots are people who lie to themselves even); liars who are mad the coup was unsuccessful.
Having two parents who grew up during the Spanish Civil War, two grandparents who were executed and buried in a mass grave because they were political dissenters and having myself grown up under a dictatorship that was the result of a "civil conflict" event (again the Spanish Civil War), I can't agree more with the sentiment that those calling for civil conflict here in the US have NO idea just how horrific that kind of thing can be. I also find it particularly alarming that there is such a deep and strong aversion to education in this country currently. Not long ago, I lived with a family that was quite proud of the fact they were "uneducated" as if that is something to be boastful about. Especially when education is freely available to all who want it, it is disheartening to see how many simply reject it.
I know what you mean. For years I've been in and out of colleges because I live on my own and my mother thinks I'm wasting my time and money. Reason for being in-and-out is because of the current economy situation, And I live on my own. And everytime I make a certain big step, I have to pause in order to make sure I have my own roof over my head because she won't be able to take me in since she's housing my sister. Tbh, I'm scared and I'll be even more angry if civil war breaks out.
@@attritionwarrior Over 80 years later, we are still trying to figure out just how events unfolded in my grandparents' case, why and how were they "denounced" and by whom? Because over 40 years after Franco's death, there are still enough francoists and right wingers in positions of power to block access to official archives, some of which were also destroyed during Franco's life and after his death. There is currently and for the last 20+ years, a huge effort on the part of victims' families to deal with the 2,000+ government acknowledged mass graves from the civil war period and the thousands of bodies still unaccounted for. Our family is one of the lucky few that know where their executed relatives are buried. But we actually didn't find out where my grandparents were buried until sometime in the late 90s (they were executed in 1937 after a so-called "military tribunal.") Neither of them was military, my grandmother was 45, my grandfather was 55 and they left behind 9 minor children. All their assets and properties were "confiscated." My father was 7 years old when all this happened, two of his older brothers who were fighting in the war (on the Republican side, fighting against Franco) also died during the war. From information gathered from neighbors, it is entirely possible that my grandparents were denounced to Franco's forces when they took over the province by relatives who wanted to take their properties and assets. Those are the kinds of things that can happen and often do happen during civil conflicts, neighbors against neighbors, family members against other family members. When Franco's troops took over an area, they set about doing a "limpieza" or "cleaning out" of any political dissenters, basically anyone who presented any kind of threat to their control of that area. So anyone who would have the inclination or means to mount any opposition or organize any kind of resistance was eliminated. Anyone who was involved in unionizing of workers, any political dissenters, teachers, artists, writers, anyone who opposed the Catholic Church in any way was quickly rounded up and killed or imprisoned. In the province where my family is from, the Civil War was "round 2" as Franco had commanded the forces that put down the 1934 miners' revolt, although on that occasion he was doing so under the auspices of the Second Republic. A couple of years later, he would head the military coup that started the civil war.
@@RS-hs5lq hey, I offer you my condolences man, you and your family have a deep story and I'm sorry for your loss and for what you and your kinship endured. My best wishes for you all. Civil wars and civil unrest are never merciful or benevolent. The people who abuse power fear those who are powerful enough to dethrone them, and this is part of the mentality of supremacists. It's sad and it should not be this way. Franco and others like him are assholes for sure.
@@attritionwarrior Thank you. I think few people realize how deeply the aftermath of these events can affect future generations. I was born 20 years after all this happened, but I was witness to the deep wounds that were left behind. My father was never able to truly reconcile his losses and suffered his entire life with issues of depression and anxiety. Imagine that, having lost both of of his parents at the age of 7, then being separated from the rest of his siblings, as you can imagine, no one was able to raise all of them together in the middle of a civil war so they all went to different family members. In addition, my father was raised by an uncle who ended up betraying my dad's older brother. After the fighting was over, my uncle went back to his village and was hiding out in the mountains nearby as he knew Franco's forces were actively looking for him. He contacted his uncle (the one that was named as my dad's guardian) because he wanted to see my dad. What his uncle did was to turn him in to Franco's forces and they sent out a unit to hunt him down. He fought them as long as he could and then killed himself with is last bullet to avoid being captured as he knew he would have been tortured and killed anyway.

@Patricia Hayes I'm so sorry you had to endure that, but glad you got out. You are absolutely correct; it only gets worse. I can say this from experience of my mother going through this for many, many years.
So sorry you went through that. Glad you got out. Yep you have to take the first incident of ANY horrible thing ( a physical assault, assault on our capital etc) seriously or next time it will be worse.
Abusers of that sort also tell you that the beatings didn't even happen at all, that it was all in our minds or a memory from some other situation. The abusers at the Capital have done the same thing: "it wasn't violent" they say. HA!
Isaac Asimov put it best, I think, when he said, "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." Whatever adjective the academics may argue over, it was a coup. And a coup fueled by people who believe without evidence. Thank you for tackling this topic.

I really would hope that he's smart enough to realise that if America really did erupt into civil war his media empire would suffer greatly too. Or maybe he's so out of touch and insulated by his wealth, he doesn't actually realise America is dangerously close to the brink of something truly terrible.

Murdoch is probably a little more concerned with short term stability than they are, but they are all playing with fire. (Although even their *intended* outcome is rather dystopian.)

@@SingleTrackMined - I worked in the Defense Industry when the Berlin Wall came down. So many of the union workers were very bitter about the news because they figured they were going to lose their jobs. The irony for too many of them who'd been there 20+ years is that a leveraged buy-out of the company wiped out their pensions and started making them pay for expensive heath insurance long before the company layed them off. They didn't see that enemy coming.
First, it's crazy that this was a year ago. Where did time go. Second, in my opinion this was straight up a terrorist attack on our capital. Those people were domestic terrorists. Had it been anyone else we know what the label would be.
Yes, if they weren't white, we all know how the narrative would go. Can you imagine if Trump had orchestrated a "Blacks for Trump" paid coup (complete with promises of blanket pardons for everyone), instead of a "White is Right" coup? Trump would still be president and millions of progressives would be in Guantanamo.
No probation for these terrorists and certainly no organic food for them. A minimum of six years for anyone there and 20 years for the worst offenders.
Speaking as an outsider, I'd say you're correct: America is currently skirting the edge of the abyss rather than running directly at it. The abyss is still there though, just a little to your right.
As a black man in America, who knows my history, I know how screwed up things can be. After the last year though.... I grew up in a rough neighborhood, and one of the things I had to learn was to watch my surroundings. Make sure you look over your shoulder periodically while walking. That is sadly how I feel in general now. I will never treat my neighbors and citizens like the enemy. But what I can never get over, or forget, is that many of you are comfortable with this. And it's over some BS. I'm going to do what I can to be a part of not letting it get worse, but I can't forget there are plenty of you out here, who do not want democracy. You do not want to regroup, and come back with ideas to win people over. Thank you for getting that message across to me.
As a white woman, I feel the same way. If someone tries to start a civil war, which of my neighbors is going to step out on their front lawn, armed? I'm in Texas, and the numbers are scary. And how many of those I see in church, walking in the park, shopping at Wally World, or sitting in my doctor's waiting room, are hoping the GQP takes over the government? How many are voting for it? How many are funding it? How many are waving their flags, and praising patriots, while championing authoritarians, and hoping for a dictator?
@@TraderRobin yep, but they SAY they saw "normal tourists hugging and kissing" police officers. that's what they say publicly. privately? damn, it failed".
The actions of the mob itself are not what makes this a coup. A coup implies an organised attempt to gain power, not simply to attack politicians. Thus Trump and Co's statements, in public and private, and other evidence, are far more important than the scenes we saw in the news.
@@jessebianchi2631 They aren't smart enough to be upset that it failed, because they don't know what a coup is or what it looks like, or that they even wanted one. Trump supporters are not smart or educated, that is why they're Trump supporters in the first place, and it's why the coup attempt failed- because Trump's entire base are a bunch of morons. Not a single one of them has the slightest inkling how government actually works, not a single one has ever read the Constitution and made an effort to understand it. I don't think many of those people on January 6th would have participated if they fully understood the implications of their actions. I'm pretty certain that fact alone is why the government exercised so much restraint in dealing with the situation.
There has never been a more obvious crime in all of human history. The entire world watched this crime unfold. Starting in August of 2020 when the Bunker Baby announced that he was going to steal the election because he knew he couldn't win fairly. _"The only way we're going to lose this election is if the election is rigged"_ Showing that he already intended to rig the election. And then there is the matter of Russian collusion that *was* factually proven.
Yes, because before tanks were invented, there was no such thing as a coup. BTW, I was in Bosnia during the Yugoslavian civil war, these people know not what they're yearning for.
This! They want literal blood in the streets, homes burned to the ground with families inside, starvation and freezing in the winter. And somehow they think they won'tsuffer and this will be fun..
I remember that and it was agonizing to me. I'm curious if what's happening in the US is similar. Were the citizens radicalized to turn against each other by an outside force?
@@changeshifter4852, I'm not sure Yugoslavia needed outside influence. People have always been divided down the religious lines but it was kept in check during the Titos years. It was so crazy, my dads best friend, my godfather, came looking for my dad to kill him. Dad wasn't home, so he dragged me out of the house and blew my eardrums out by firing his pistol right next to my ear, threatening to kill me if my dad didn't surrender. At the time I just could not understand why would neighbors/best friends and in many cases family members turn on each other. It was wild. Death and destruction. If you look up Gornji Vakuf 1993, you'll see pictures of my small town and what it looked like, all the while the people were all still there, living in the basements like rats.
The native Polynesian people of Hawaii understand first hand about how coup happen even without a single shot fired by the aggressor. The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom began on January 16, 1893, with a coup by foreign American residents that was welcomed into the Kingdom and resided in Honolulu, that resulted in the unlawful invasion of the Kingdom of Hawaii by U.S. Marines which was later stolen by the American Government.

@@nalomike6066 Beau constantly reminds us not to do what you are doing. Your premise is based on some other person that your not for sure about their title or role or privy to the events recorded from 1st hand facts. That leads to a slippery slope start into a discussion that is evaporated because a common understanding of facts can’t be established. So I can’t comment any further on what your comment is about outside of the historical public record of facts in regard to the Coup against the Hawaiian Kingdom. Let’s be very clear,….. Their is No othering this historical event. The Hawaiian Kingdom was not complicit in its own demise. This historical event is not complicated in understanding that one of the parties was the clear aggressor. A mighty military nation (United States) sent its troop to a Remote Island Kingdom to take it by force and hold its queen captive and worse was not ruled out if necessary. The American Government drafted a carefully written legal letter to add a historical footnote to what America did but hold back its culpability just enough to protect her (America) from a fortune in money that would have to be paid to the island people. The letter ended up being a legal document protecting America more so than a outright accountability for the coup of a sitting monarch. But let’s not get off the main topic which is the fact that Coup come in many forms and not all of them leave a ton of innocent women children and men slain. The Hawaiian Kingdom Coup is 1 example I was adding to further the conversation.
So a virtual 3rd world group of people who probably didn't even own guns and just owned spears in the 1800's is your example to somehow demonstrate Jan 6th was a legitimate attempt to overthrow the government without guns? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Beau. As someone who grew up in a country in the middle of a civil war, it infuriates and terrifies me to hear anyone mention it as an option to solve differences.
The strength of your conviction and delivery on this video was amazing and a real joy to watch. Sometimes being angry and blunt is what this country really needs to see that coup as a COUP!
Do these folks really believe that if the mob had managed to corner Pelosi or Pence in the hallway that they would have just given them a stern talking-to? We narrowly avoided some really gruesome sights that would have been caught on multiple livestreams for the world to see.
It would have come down to their security details having to open fire into a mass of rioters. That would have been lauded by the right as a Boston Massacure and the dead as patriots. An FBI HRT team (the civilian version of a Tier -1 military special missions team such as Delta Force and SEAL Team Six) was in the building looking for Pence to extract him.

“It’s a symptom of the embrace of being against education in this country”. I wholeheartedly agree this is the root of most political problems in this country and the electorate’s inability to discern facts from propaganda and disinformation.
The attack on education, by the right, serves their purpose well. It's to maintain power and attempts to keep the general public ignorant and in dire servitude . Hence the banning of books and the push to keep the teaching of the actual history of these United States and the world at bay . Better to believe a lie , than to awaken to the truth.
I believe I was fortunate to have been born in the late thirties, and to have had the opportunities I had. Given the obvious state of our country, I'm unfortunate to have lived long enough to see its decay into chaos. Who'd have thought we'd come this close to ending up as an ugly, autocratic dictatorship. Beau's anger is well placed. We should all be even angrier.
At your age, you remember when news strove to be fair and balanced. Here's my take: We're being played by divisive politically skewed media from both sides of the aisle. Said media is adept at convincing us that those from the other party are all either stupid or evil. Consequently we have blind spots when our own brand of media gets something wrong, ignoring or forgiving the error 'for the greater good'. It's almost as if our media is controlled by foreign interests seeking to divide and conquer us. If only we could see through it...
I've lived a long time as 65 here and I've not seen as much as you but I've seen enough that years of living I too see the decay of America especially that last 30 years ..this party has gotten so extreme that it has no American values left except for a hand full..sad 😭 for my country...
My Vietnam Vet Marine spouse & I sat and watched from CA. And realized we were watching a coup. We’ve waited an entire year to learn that we were wrong. The only part we got wrong was that it was far worse than we could possibly imagine. The Pandemic has been hard but the events of 1/6/2021 and the continuing efforts have left me far more shaken.

I love Beau, and this is my favorite channel, but I sure wish he was more pragmatic about this particular subject.
It is in videos like this one where your immense love of people and outrage of the atrocities of the wicked show through, and while I understand why you keep that passion under lock, as much as you can, it is impressive that it's there, and you're able to channel it as constructively as you do. I salute you Beau.
It dumbfounds me that some people want a civil war. I've never been to war, but I know it has to be hell on earth. I've never been skinned alive either, and I know of nobody who wants that to happen to themselves. How stupid and ignorant do you have to be to want a civil war?
Revolution is something you do when the alternative is worse. The thing is? I think the Trumpists think that all the horrible stuff will happen to the people they don't like. That's not how that works. 😐
“It is an illegal, unconstitutional seizure of power by a political faction, military, or a dictator.” Sounds exactly like what was attempted last year to me.
The representatives refusing to acknowledge this coup have violated their oath of office; the violation of which comes with clearly written consequences. If I, as a low level, seasonal govt. employee had to sign off on those consequences, our Representatives certainly did and need to punished as directed. Oaths mean nothing without enforcement.
It doesn't matter if this was a genuine coup attempt or just an attempt at fucking things up out the door. They invaded the capitol building and were nothing more than an insurgent force that is very luck they weren't put down like the dogs they are. They need to be punished, because letting them go makes us look weak, and invites further acts like this.
Indeed, it’s a post-truth era. What people believe is true is what matters moreso than what is. It’s always been this way to some extent, but now, in an era of limitless information, ignoring the truth is a deliberate choice people get to make actively. Never before has the truth been so readily available and just as readily ignored
World War II analogies can be tired and contrived, but I can't help but draw some comparisons between January 6th and the Beer Hall Putsch in 1923 Weimar Germany, especially in the context that both failed...at the time. We know with hindsight that the failure to adequately address the Beer Hall Putsch would have horrific consequence in the 22 subsequent years. I hope January 6th doesn't bear that kind of fruit in these next 20 years.
I keep telling people that unless you’ve lived in a society in the middle of civil break down ( ex- civil conflict, revolution, war), you cannot know what that is like. I was an American kid in Iran in the 1970’s because my dad was a flight instructor for the Shah’s military. Helicopter pilot from Vietnam. Short version of the story is that we were some of the last Americans that got out of Iran before the hostages were taken. We left the morning after a taxi cab blew up outside our house the night before. Loudest thing I’ve ever heard in my life. A lot had happened before that decisive incident but for some reason my parents were in denial. So then there’s grown up me in 2016 getting all the warning signals on a potential civil breakdown here in our comfy USA where people freak out if they cant get their cigarettes, beer and pizza down the street. Believe me when i say almost no one in this country is ready to handle civil disruption. No reliable food, schools and institutions close, anxiety sets in. I could go on I guess. The people who say they want $h!@ to hit the fan do not know what they’re asking for. Every war vet I know does not want to go back to that crap and are affected forever by it, can never take stability for granted.
I agree ! They have a child's idea and have no sense of the danger. And the repercussions, they are angry and want to belong and now they have friends who share their anger. They get to have a shared goal to kill the bad people and dream of wondrous rewards for their hatred- the frothing hatred that they have been manipulated to feel . We live in a house of cards.
When they say they want civil war, I feel like sending them photos of dead bloated bodies from our last Civil War. They really don't know what they're saying.
People advocating violence are the ones sitting in their comfortable houses never having dealt with real violence. Let them talk to someone who has been to war, to watch a brother in arms gut shot and slowly bleeding to death in the dirt and the filth begging for mercy, crying out for their mother, knowing that death is right there about to take them. Let them talk to someone who lost a leg to a mine, watched children burned by napalm, see a battlefield soaked in the blood of friend and enemy alike. These people know no hardship and believe themselves to be persecuted. Let them be, and let's see how long they whine.
@@bigfootdogwood7464 When others attack us, it is bad. When we attack ourselves, it is worse. Trump literally tried to overthrow the United States government. The Japanese and Saudis had far lesser objectives.
Imagine having it so good that being asked to put on a mask for yours and other's health is being perceived as oppression and rights being taken away. I was born and raised in Venezuela, been in the US for 20yrs and I've seen it and always say, Americans have it way too easy

He's not scolding his audience. We Dems and Liberals are his audience. That's the problem with all these TH-cam talking heads, including channels like The Lincoln project and all their slick videos; they're ALL preaching to the choir, they are talking to an audience that agree with them, as evident by the comments that are 99.9% from the left.

@@quintrankid8045 It was similar to things like suffrage protests - the goal was to protest. BLM protests wanted dramatic police reform. Some were saying "defund" the police, but there were a million definitions of the term. The exact solution was less important than the fact that the country needs a solution.
If people still don’t think it was a Coup, they need to get their heads out of their fundaments. As it wasn’t at that moment successful, the people that organized it definitely took notes so the next one will go according to their plans.
@@B_Bodziak Wrong, what makes this not a coup attempt was the lack of any sort of planning or strategy, the fact that none of those wack-jobs brought weapons, and that the ring leader even eventually told his supporters to stop and go home. Your fuckin delusional if you think this was a coup attempt.
A year ago today I watched the "coup" go down on three different screens, from three perspectives. With NO doubt, the livestream from "Baked Alaska" showed, live, a coup taking place. Hearing the narration of the group told a clear story; intention.
@@VanessaHolguin "things" I will agree that many of the conservatives in this country have become less than humane, but you just called them less than human by calling them "things".
Nor are they likely to describe what they’re proposing/doing, even to themselves, in language as unsavory as “coup.” Particularly in s country that prides itself on its exemplary capacity to reliably produce a “peaceful transfer of power.” Of course, this reluctance may well be fading in a country in which a polled roughly 30% of one of its two major political parties now believe that violence may well be “necessary “ to “save” it.
They're also deliberately attempting to deflect from the point, which suggests a great deal about their faith in their ability to defend their position (which is to say, they're lying and they know it). Violence isn't relevant. Attempting to disrupt the legitimate and peaceful transfer of power according to the duly-expressed democratic will of the people, is. It is amusing to see how many people will pretend that "bloodless coup" hasn't been a known concept since "government" was a thing. Well, amusing and terrifying, but one takes the good where one can find it, these days.
Yes, one had a heart attack, one got beaten and then trampled, and one girl got shot by a security guard. More people died during the BLM protests for fucks sake, also with a hell of a lot more destruction to buildings and property as well. What coup attempt or insurrection have you ever heard about where those attempting it didn't have any actual weapons, and the one person killed by a weapon that day was that woman getting shot by a security guard while trying to break into an office where Pence was held up in? This doesn't mean what transpired wasn't awful and should certainly be condemned, but it's utter lunacy to pretend that it was a legit coup attempt. It was a violent riot that was incited by Trump, to pretend otherwise demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of what an actual coup-attempt look like.
@@8301TheJMan The intention of Trump was to negate the election and hold onto power. That's a coup. Also, I suggest decaf, you're a little on edge. Perhaps a nice cup of chamomile tea, lol. Happy trails!!
@@8301TheJMan What was the explicit purpose of the riot? To stop the counting of legitimate votes on zero evidence, solely to cease the peaceful transfer of power in order to keep 45 in office. It was a coup, friend. Ask yourself why you're so afraid of acknowledging obvious reality, like the numerous videos of weapons both brought to the coup and used to attack peace officers. Do you "BLM was worse!!1!" morons even clue-in to the fact that you have zero evidence to offer for your claims, or do you just not listen to your nonsense at all?
@@michaelccozens If intent was all that was required, then all of mainstream media, the Dems, and sadly - a shit ton of moronic supposed leftists are equally as guilty at attempting to coup Trump's presidency by weaponizing the baseless Russiagate conspiracy theory to oust him from office.
We need to acknowledge that Pence, eventhough he actually did the right thing. It was Dan Quail that was the voice of reason when Pence asked for his help on how to do what trump wanted. Dan Quail?!
I remember the moment I realized what was happening on the 6th was a coup attempt. I was glued to twitter keeping up with the news from that day. And saw a tweet about how the national guard was being deployed. I breathed a sigh of relief, then about ten minutes later saw another tweet from the same person saying the request for the national guard had been denied. In that moment I instinctively muttered to myself “oh my God it’s a coup” it was not hard to watch what was happening on the 6th and come to that conclusion.
I grew up in West Africa, an area of the world where coups and attempted coups are frequent. I knew exactly what I was looking at on Jan. 6. I told my husband that night I was having PTSD issues because it reminded me of Africa so much. It absolutely was a coup. My experience abroad told me that from day one.
@@helentaylor7132 I was at a job site miles from home in Central California and a childhood friend called me from East Africa shouting "turn the TV on, there's a coup going on in America!"

Thank you Beau for clearing up the definition of the word Coup , people forget how many definition of the word . Sad when it's broadcast around the world and people say it wasn't.

A man pranced through the nation's capitol building with a Confederate flag. During the Civil War or any previous wars, an enemy flag, which the Confederate flag is, was never inside the seat, the citadel of our government. That man is still breathing.

They are OK with a Confederate flag sullying the US capitol. There's nothing worse about that day than this one thing.

I agree, people don't bother anymore to educate themselves on the actual democratic process, candidates who are running for office, or the basic facts of history. How do you combat this? I have family members that are 80 years old, asking me what fascism is. OMG!
Yes, apparently, they don't know that the people who started the French Revolution and were cutting off people's heads, in the end, had their own heads cut off. Nobody wins with government takeovers or civil war.
Many people who say they are patriots and constitutionalists are anything but that! They don’t realise that their ideal world where their side is always in power and has no rivals is an authoritarian fantasy, the modern gop movement has so many red flags and similarities to the rise of European fascism in pre war Europe. It scares me that trump won’t run and a charismatic leader who isn’t a moron will take his place as a more acceptable face of fascism wrapped in the flag.
Historically, the best preventive measure against fascism has been a strong left wing. The US had two right wing parties for decades. They now have a right wing party with liberal social talking points and a fascist (extreme right) party which pretends it is merely conservative. Representative democracy at best is liable to tyranny of the majority and at worst is liable to become mask off fascism as soon as public pressure from the left is on the wane. The rest of the world acknowledges that capitalism is the dividing line between right and left. If Bernie were a democratic socialist as he claims, he would be the lone national representation for socialism. He us in fact a social democrat (not sure why he always inverts them) and so marks the furthest left possible for US politicians at a national level. But, based on the dividing line of whether one supports capitalism, he is still right wing, just at the very edge of that ideology. There are a whole host of other ways to organize society but we are only ever shown variations on a single way. And that single way, global corporate hegemony supported and abetted by state power has been and continues to be catastrophic in its consequences. Think outside the box, do your own research, question your presuppositions and study both history and prehistory. Or not. You have agency over yourself and I don't side with those who would take that from you.
I did not understand how good German people could be lead down such a horrifying path. So I read everything published about it before 1989. It was a while ago so I have forgotten most names, dates and places. But I didn't forget the important take home that no one talks about. One third of the people you know will shove you in the oven, lock the door and stand there and listen to you scream. It is true that only one in six WWII soldiers actually shot at the enemy, but motivation was lacking and we fixed it in boot camp by the time we got to Vietnam. Given the right circumstances I would do it. That so many seem hot for the conflict probably relies on many different reasons, most of the not true but believed whole heartedly. That's all you need. LOL!The orange ogre has built himself a wall after all. A wall of misinformation we can't seem to breech.
What the army did of the problem getting sane people to shoot at other people was to change the culture. One shot, one kill. Pop-up targets and for advanced rifle marksmanship sometimes two targets pop up, one is stationary and has priority and the other one moves horizontally for a few seconds.
Yes, a common phrase was ‘we could not see the end’, and ‘surely he will stop now’. Another big factor is that people who normally wouldn’t get within a mile of the White House like Stephen Miller, or Steve Bannon are given enormous power. Then you have groups like the proud boys, more than willing to do the dirty work.
By sanest you mean: Using a fake name, is literally an actor, and is a convicted felon for his part in aiding illegals into the country in addition to having a mental breakdown where he stripped off all his clothes and ran naked through the streets? That kind of sane?
@@VanessaHolguin QED is a fake name. I’m a professionally trained actor (with a Physics degree and postgrad study). I have a criminal conviction (we don’t classify crimes by felony/misdemeanour where I’m from) and under the right circumstances (protest action) I’d strip off in public too. None of the above have affected my sanity, Vanessa. I do have questions about the sanity of anyone who calls herself a “Trumpet” (shouldn’t that be Trumpette? Those proud bois will put you in your place if you use the wrong binary). What sort of a sane person supports a man who has spent an entire career as a cheat, a racist, a philanderer, a fraud, a serial litigant, a multiple bankrupt who defaulted on loans and ended up laundering money for Russian billionaires?

3) They chanted that they wanted to hang Mike Pence and stop the election certification. YES....it was a coup attempt.

I remember making a comment in another video where he raised his voice and got angry, which actually put me on edge. While I agree that the one here comforts me, the one from back then where he essentially yells at Manchin for opposing a voting rights legislation made me feel really disconcerted for some reason. I think it's due to how his anger in that other video was in response to something that makes us feel powerless to fix, and his anger validates our concerns.

It was several coup attempts, which failed one after another, with one still ongoing.

From what was reported, it is not that it failed on its own, it is the fact that ALL of the attempts conflict with each other. It was like every one of Trump stooges was pulling the plan in different direction which can to a head when the riot began. At that point, EVERYONE, but Trump, know that keeping Trump in power would illegal the United States' standing in the world. They have a B.S. plan, not one but multi B.S. Plans. They ALL fall apart when The riot began. In a way, the insurrection started after Trump lost on Nov 3 and it was over on Jan 6. Ironically, base on what we know from reports a year later, the riot save democracy that day as it ruin the plans that were in place for Trump to remain in power.

However the thing that’s most worrying is how easy the followers have ignored the evidence of their own eyes to follow a narrative.
These are awful times for the United States.
@@emilymcplugger Going there peacefully, "..and fight like hell or we won't have a country anymore...". He pitched up election ideas to WH staff in an Oval office meeting, ideas to seize voting machines by DoHS, US military (Pentagon), or by another department. Why did none of the 'Fair Count' rhetoric include bringing Dem party officials onboard, equally invested Two-Party system partners? Thats your Tell, right there.
“It really wasn’t all that violent” - Yes, tell that to Officer Eugene Goodman, Officer Michael Fanone, Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, Lt. Michael Byrd, or the family of Officer Brian D. Sicknick
And all the other leos working that day at the capitol that showed incredible restraint while being beaten, bearsprayed, spat on and screamed at.
Spain's 23F was less violent than Jan 6th; nobody got hurt/killed. And nobody would deny it was a full-on coup attempt.
But, but, but, WE SUPPORT THE POLICE.
I could not agree more.
Mike Fannone says they yelled "let's kill him with his own gun" while they bludgeoned him with confederate flag and Trump*Pence 2020 campaign flag poles and fire extinguishers and other cudgels.
"It wasn't really that violent!"
The dead police officers would tend to disagree, if they could...
If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a coup attempt.
If it can't walk down a slight incline it's an auto-coup
@@SingleTrackMined Oooo I like this one!
😅
This goose agrees.😉
The whole world saw it happen, and most saw the beginning of the coup in August 2020 _"The only way we're going to lose this election is if the election is rigged"._ No one is so stupid they actually believe it wasn't a coup attempt. Those who are claiming it wasn't, are obvious liars (bigots are people who lie to themselves even); liars who are mad the coup was unsuccessful.
Having two parents who grew up during the Spanish Civil War, two grandparents who were executed and buried in a mass grave because they were political dissenters and having myself grown up under a dictatorship that was the result of a "civil conflict" event (again the Spanish Civil War), I can't agree more with the sentiment that those calling for civil conflict here in the US have NO idea just how horrific that kind of thing can be. I also find it particularly alarming that there is such a deep and strong aversion to education in this country currently. Not long ago, I lived with a family that was quite proud of the fact they were "uneducated" as if that is something to be boastful about. Especially when education is freely available to all who want it, it is disheartening to see how many simply reject it.
I know what you mean. For years I've been in and out of colleges because I live on my own and my mother thinks I'm wasting my time and money.
Reason for being in-and-out is because of the current economy situation, And I live on my own. And everytime I make a certain big step, I have to pause in order to make sure I have my own roof over my head because she won't be able to take me in since she's housing my sister.
Tbh, I'm scared and I'll be even more angry if civil war breaks out.
That is quite profound
@@attritionwarrior Over 80 years later, we are still trying to figure out just how events unfolded in my grandparents' case, why and how were they "denounced" and by whom? Because over 40 years after Franco's death, there are still enough francoists and right wingers in positions of power to block access to official archives, some of which were also destroyed during Franco's life and after his death. There is currently and for the last 20+ years, a huge effort on the part of victims' families to deal with the 2,000+ government acknowledged mass graves from the civil war period and the thousands of bodies still unaccounted for.
Our family is one of the lucky few that know where their executed relatives are buried. But we actually didn't find out where my grandparents were buried until sometime in the late 90s (they were executed in 1937 after a so-called "military tribunal.") Neither of them was military, my grandmother was 45, my grandfather was 55 and they left behind 9 minor children. All their assets and properties were "confiscated." My father was 7 years old when all this happened, two of his older brothers who were fighting in the war (on the Republican side, fighting against Franco) also died during the war. From information gathered from neighbors, it is entirely possible that my grandparents were denounced to Franco's forces when they took over the province by relatives who wanted to take their properties and assets. Those are the kinds of things that can happen and often do happen during civil conflicts, neighbors against neighbors, family members against other family members.
When Franco's troops took over an area, they set about doing a "limpieza" or "cleaning out" of any political dissenters, basically anyone who presented any kind of threat to their control of that area. So anyone who would have the inclination or means to mount any opposition or organize any kind of resistance was eliminated. Anyone who was involved in unionizing of workers, any political dissenters, teachers, artists, writers, anyone who opposed the Catholic Church in any way was quickly rounded up and killed or imprisoned. In the province where my family is from, the Civil War was "round 2" as Franco had commanded the forces that put down the 1934 miners' revolt, although on that occasion he was doing so under the auspices of the Second Republic. A couple of years later, he would head the military coup that started the civil war.
@@RS-hs5lq hey, I offer you my condolences man, you and your family have a deep story and I'm sorry for your loss and for what you and your kinship endured. My best wishes for you all. Civil wars and civil unrest are never merciful or benevolent. The people who abuse power fear those who are powerful enough to dethrone them, and this is part of the mentality of supremacists. It's sad and it should not be this way. Franco and others like him are assholes for sure.
@@attritionwarrior Thank you. I think few people realize how deeply the aftermath of these events can affect future generations. I was born 20 years after all this happened, but I was witness to the deep wounds that were left behind. My father was never able to truly reconcile his losses and suffered his entire life with issues of depression and anxiety. Imagine that, having lost both of of his parents at the age of 7, then being separated from the rest of his siblings, as you can imagine, no one was able to raise all of them together in the middle of a civil war so they all went to different family members. In addition, my father was raised by an uncle who ended up betraying my dad's older brother. After the fighting was over, my uncle went back to his village and was hiding out in the mountains nearby as he knew Franco's forces were actively looking for him. He contacted his uncle (the one that was named as my dad's guardian) because he wanted to see my dad. What his uncle did was to turn him in to Franco's forces and they sent out a unit to hunt him down. He fought them as long as he could and then killed himself with is last bullet to avoid being captured as he knew he would have been tortured and killed anyway.

So sorry you went through that. Glad you got out. Yep you have to take the first incident of ANY horrible thing ( a physical assault, assault on our capital etc) seriously or next time it will be worse.
Abusers of that sort also tell you that the beatings didn't even happen at all, that it was all in our minds or a memory from some other situation. The abusers at the Capital have done the same thing: "it wasn't violent" they say. HA!
Isaac Asimov put it best, I think, when he said, "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." Whatever adjective the academics may argue over, it was a coup. And a coup fueled by people who believe without evidence. Thank you for tackling this topic.

They didn't see that enemy coming.
First, it's crazy that this was a year ago. Where did time go. Second, in my opinion this was straight up a terrorist attack on our capital. Those people were domestic terrorists. Had it been anyone else we know what the label would be.

Your premise is based on some other person that your not for sure about their title or role or privy to the events recorded from 1st hand facts. That leads to a slippery slope start into a discussion that is evaporated because a common understanding of facts can’t be established. So I can’t comment any further on what your comment is about outside of the historical public record of facts in regard to the Coup against the Hawaiian Kingdom. Let’s be very clear,…..
Their is No othering this historical event.
The Hawaiian Kingdom was not complicit in its own demise. This historical event is not complicated in understanding that one of the parties was the clear aggressor. A mighty military nation (United States) sent its troop to a Remote Island Kingdom to take it by force and hold its queen captive and worse was not ruled out if necessary. The American Government drafted a carefully written legal letter to add a historical footnote to what America did but hold back its culpability just enough to protect her (America) from a fortune in money that would have to be paid to the island people. The letter ended up being a legal document protecting America more so than a outright accountability for the coup of a sitting monarch.
But let’s not get off the main topic which is the fact that Coup come in many forms and not all of them leave a ton of innocent women children and men slain.
The Hawaiian Kingdom Coup is 1 example I was adding to further the conversation.
If this had been an attempted coup, Patriots would not have stopped. And they would've been armed.

We know with hindsight that the failure to adequately address the Beer Hall Putsch would have horrific consequence in the 22 subsequent years. I hope January 6th doesn't bear that kind of fruit in these next 20 years.
I keep telling people that unless you’ve lived in a society in the middle of civil break down ( ex- civil conflict, revolution, war), you cannot know what that is like. I was an American kid in Iran in the 1970’s because my dad was a flight instructor for the Shah’s military. Helicopter pilot from Vietnam. Short version of the story is that we were some of the last Americans that got out of Iran before the hostages were taken. We left the morning after a taxi cab blew up outside our house the night before. Loudest thing I’ve ever heard in my life. A lot had happened before that decisive incident but for some reason my parents were in denial. So then there’s grown up me in 2016 getting all the warning signals on a potential civil breakdown here in our comfy USA where people freak out if they cant get their cigarettes, beer and pizza down the street. Believe me when i say almost no one in this country is ready to handle civil disruption. No reliable food, schools and institutions close, anxiety sets in. I could go on I guess. The people who say they want $h!@ to hit the fan do not know what they’re asking for. Every war vet I know does not want to go back to that crap and are affected forever by it, can never take stability for granted.
I agree ! They have a child's idea and have no sense of the danger. And the repercussions, they are angry and want to belong and now they have friends who share their anger. They get to have a shared goal to kill the bad people and dream of wondrous rewards for their hatred- the frothing hatred that they have been manipulated to feel . We live in a house of cards.
Well said.
When they say they want civil war, I feel like sending them photos of dead bloated bodies from our last Civil War. They really don't know what they're saying.
You tell 'em M.N.!
"The revolution will not be televised". Nope, it's on the internet.
People advocating violence are the ones sitting in their comfortable houses never having dealt with real violence. Let them talk to someone who has been to war, to watch a brother in arms gut shot and slowly bleeding to death in the dirt and the filth begging for mercy, crying out for their mother, knowing that death is right there about to take them. Let them talk to someone who lost a leg to a mine, watched children burned by napalm, see a battlefield soaked in the blood of friend and enemy alike. These people know no hardship and believe themselves to be persecuted. Let them be, and let's see how long they whine.
agree but we can't have our VP saying the 6th was as bad as Pearl Harbor n 9-11 it was not that
@@bigfootdogwood7464 That depends on what you think America is. Only one of those three events threatened our constitutional democracy.
@@bigfootdogwood7464 When others attack us, it is bad. When we attack ourselves, it is worse. Trump literally tried to overthrow the United States government. The Japanese and Saudis had far lesser objectives.
Imagine having it so good that being asked to put on a mask for yours and other's health is being perceived as oppression and rights being taken away. I was born and raised in Venezuela, been in the US for 20yrs and I've seen it and always say, Americans have it way too easy

You are right, though.
As a Scholar, I'm glad that he had this:"Little Talk", because I did not realize why the public did not fully "get" what actually happened. Coup Attempts these days are often silent and invisible.
America has a massive industry recreating stories whether true life or fiction, the film industry, and now they are so good at it, making it all look real and believable, it has a massive impact to the way people think, especially the uneducated.... From aliens to talking monkeys it all looks real, it's a shame so called educated adults are so easily fooled...if America doesn't get a grip of this problem, it will tear the country in half...
While double checking (Justin has never let us down (with the possible exception of honey bees) but it is in my nature to make sure) I found the resource he cited.
It is spelled Cline Center (not "klein" as I originally assumed).
He is absolutely correct, as usual. I just wanted to list the correct spelling for any others that wanted to verify.

No one knows how to scold their audience quite like Beau. I appreciate that.
Unfortunately, the people who really need scolding aren't in the audience. But I appreciate it just the same.
@@incognitotorpedo42 I’d actually disagree. Beau has commented before on messages he’s gotten about far-right dudes getting de-radicalized in part thanks to this channel. They’re in the audience, they’re just not a majority of it.
He's not scolding his audience. We Dems and Liberals are his audience. That's the problem with all these TH-cam talking heads, including channels like The Lincoln project and all their slick videos; they're ALL preaching to the choir, they are talking to an audience that agree with them, as evident by the comments that are 99.9% from the left. You think many MAGA dolts watch these videos? Of course they don't; just like not many Dems watch right wing channels.
@@generalyellor8188 Actually, yes. He’s commented before about his videos being used for de-radicalization, so yes, some of the right people are watching.
I’m a Canadian woman who at 80 has seen a lot of history. I’ve studied it formally and informally. I’ve come to checking with you regularly for your thoughtful analyses. Thank you for your sharing your good sense.
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final and most essential command
All GQP want the public to reject what we all saw and heard unfold live
100% Beau. Thank you for being honest.
Also 'attempted coup" is not even in the realm of BLM protests. I'm so tired of people trying to equate the two.
Tell that to racists like my grandfather who have been screaming THEY'RE TAKIN' OVER!!! at the TV from their couches for decades. My grandfather's thankfully dead, but too many of them are still screaming.
Then what is the purpose of BLM protests?
@@quintrankid8045 It was similar to things like suffrage protests - the goal was to protest. BLM protests wanted dramatic police reform. Some were saying "defund" the police, but there were a million definitions of the term. The exact solution was less important than the fact that the country needs a solution.
@@yesitschelle A solution to what? Please be explicit. TIA.
If people still don’t think it was a Coup, they need to get their heads out of their fundaments. As it wasn’t at that moment successful, the people that organized it definitely took notes so the next one will go according to their plans.
Yes, just because it wasn't successful doesn't mean it wasn't an attempted coup
@@B_Bodziak Wrong, what makes this not a coup attempt was the lack of any sort of planning or strategy, the fact that none of those wack-jobs brought weapons, and that the ring leader even eventually told his supporters to stop and go home. Your fuckin delusional if you think this was a coup attempt.
A year ago today I watched the "coup" go down on three different screens, from three perspectives. With NO doubt, the livestream from "Baked Alaska" showed, live, a coup taking place. Hearing the narration of the group told a clear story; intention.
Can we paraphrase Shakespeare? “A coup by any other name would still be a coup”.
You guys call Trump a fascist, his followers Nazis and White Supremacists. Trust me, no sane person _really_ cares what you nutjobs call "things".
@@VanessaHolguin Making a good paycheck, little troll?
@@VanessaHolguin Who were you... "quoting"?
@@VanessaHolguin "things" I will agree that many of the conservatives in this country have become less than humane, but you just called them less than human by calling them "things".
Yeah but through the use of soft language people just keep moving the goal post..
People spoiling for civil conflict have no frame of reference for what they're demanding.
Nor are they likely to describe what they’re proposing/doing, even to themselves, in language as unsavory as “coup.” Particularly in s country that prides itself on its exemplary capacity to reliably produce a “peaceful transfer of power.”
Of course, this reluctance may well be fading in a country in which a polled roughly 30% of one of its two major political parties now believe that violence may well be “necessary “ to “save” it.
Anyone who says "It wasn't that violent" wasn't paying attention. People died.
They're also deliberately attempting to deflect from the point, which suggests a great deal about their faith in their ability to defend their position (which is to say, they're lying and they know it). Violence isn't relevant. Attempting to disrupt the legitimate and peaceful transfer of power according to the duly-expressed democratic will of the people, is.
It is amusing to see how many people will pretend that "bloodless coup" hasn't been a known concept since "government" was a thing. Well, amusing and terrifying, but one takes the good where one can find it, these days.
Yes, one had a heart attack, one got beaten and then trampled, and one girl got shot by a security guard. More people died during the BLM protests for fucks sake, also with a hell of a lot more destruction to buildings and property as well. What coup attempt or insurrection have you ever heard about where those attempting it didn't have any actual weapons, and the one person killed by a weapon that day was that woman getting shot by a security guard while trying to break into an office where Pence was held up in? This doesn't mean what transpired wasn't awful and should certainly be condemned, but it's utter lunacy to pretend that it was a legit coup attempt. It was a violent riot that was incited by Trump, to pretend otherwise demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of what an actual coup-attempt look like.
@@8301TheJMan
The intention of Trump was to negate the election and hold onto power. That's a coup. Also, I suggest decaf, you're a little on edge. Perhaps a nice cup of chamomile tea, lol. Happy trails!!
@@8301TheJMan What was the explicit purpose of the riot? To stop the counting of legitimate votes on zero evidence, solely to cease the peaceful transfer of power in order to keep 45 in office. It was a coup, friend. Ask yourself why you're so afraid of acknowledging obvious reality, like the numerous videos of weapons both brought to the coup and used to attack peace officers.
Do you "BLM was worse!!1!" morons even clue-in to the fact that you have zero evidence to offer for your claims, or do you just not listen to your nonsense at all?
@@michaelccozens If intent was all that was required, then all of mainstream media, the Dems, and sadly - a shit ton of moronic supposed leftists are equally as guilty at attempting to coup Trump's presidency by weaponizing the baseless Russiagate conspiracy theory to oust him from office.
We need to acknowledge that Pence, eventhough he actually did the right thing. It was Dan Quail that was the voice of reason when Pence asked for his help on how to do what trump wanted. Dan Quail?!
And his fellow astronauts ?

@@Erin-Thor 🙏🏾🙂 and Hi! 👋🏾☀️
I remember the moment I realized what was happening on the 6th was a coup attempt.
I was glued to twitter keeping up with the news from that day. And saw a tweet about how the national guard was being deployed. I breathed a sigh of relief, then about ten minutes later saw another tweet from the same person saying the request for the national guard had been denied. In that moment I instinctively muttered to myself “oh my God it’s a coup” it was not hard to watch what was happening on the 6th and come to that conclusion.
I like when Beau gets loud and chesty with that million mile gaze. You know he means business
I think this is the first time I’ve witnessed him raise his voice….and now I know where his patience has it’s limit. 😳
I grew up in West Africa, an area of the world where coups and attempted coups are frequent. I knew exactly what I was looking at on Jan. 6. I told my husband that night I was having PTSD issues because it reminded me of Africa so much. It absolutely was a coup. My experience abroad told me that from day one.
Even without experience, I recognized it immediately. Sorry you had to deal with the reminder and hope your husband is a caring guy.
@@helentaylor7132 me too! I hope you see the sun shine on the USA again!
@@helentaylor7132 I was at a job site miles from home in Central California and a childhood friend called me from East Africa shouting "turn the TV on, there's a coup going on in America!"

Seems like your basic conclusion is ignorance is the problem.... myself, I'm totally dumbfounded by the amount of ignorance I have found to exist in this great country the last 5 to 6 years... I had NO IDEA it was so rampant and willfully accepted....
especially among elected officials
Yes, Virginia, it was a coup!
Good one!!
Thank you Beau for clearing up the definition of the word Coup , people forget how many definition of the word . Sad when it's broadcast around the world and people say it wasn't. Yeah I watched it from Germany live , as an Americans it was a very embarrassing day to see my country in disarray, on the other hand most German's understood now why I live in there country now ! Thank you again Beau love how you keep it very real and 💯 . Thank you Sir .
From a South African fan compliments with your excellent commentary. Your thinking is so clear, I am willing to listen to you daily.
"They never took the time to learn about it."
That right there, sir, is the problem with Social Media...
You are amazing! I so appreciate your take on what is going on. Thank you.
There is a word to describe those who opine on something they have no knowledge of, they are called "ultracrepidarians".
Oh they did... just only the parts that validated how they felt and nothing that would dare shake their beliefs on a poorly built foundation.
It's rare to see Beau this worked up...You know shit's real.
And the thing is,people in this country see EVERYTHING though the lenses of Hollywood and thus think that things are that simple when they really,really aren't.
Right, like years of watching Law and Order has made everyone a legal expert and develops unrealistic expectations about how fast the legal system should be working.
@Mobius Zero I noticed that, too, since my teens and it's terrifying.
I really appreciate your logical, honest and truthful commentary.
A man pranced through the nation's capitol building with a Confederate flag. During the Civil War or any previous wars, an enemy flag, which the Confederate flag is, was never inside the seat, the citadel of our government. That man is still breathing. At the end of the day, this single issue defines this entire situation. These are the same people who scream the whataboutism for the George Floyd protests, who claim to love this country. They are OK with a Confederate flag sullying the US capitol. There's nothing worse about that day than this one thing.

I agree, people don't bother anymore to educate themselves on the actual democratic process, candidates who are running for office, or the basic facts of history. How do you combat this? I have family members that are 80 years old, asking me what fascism is. OMG!
I have had to explain to many people what Antifa means and that I am antifa.
Yes, apparently, they don't know that the people who started the French Revolution and were cutting off people's heads, in the end, had their own heads cut off. Nobody wins with government takeovers or civil war.
Many people who say they are patriots and constitutionalists are anything but that! They don’t realise that their ideal world where their side is always in power and has no rivals is an authoritarian fantasy, the modern gop movement has so many red flags and similarities to the rise of European fascism in pre war Europe. It scares me that trump won’t run and a charismatic leader who isn’t a moron will take his place as a more acceptable face of fascism wrapped in the flag.
@@beverlycastricone6900 me too.
Historically, the best preventive measure against fascism has been a strong left wing. The US had two right wing parties for decades. They now have a right wing party with liberal social talking points and a fascist (extreme right) party which pretends it is merely conservative. Representative democracy at best is liable to tyranny of the majority and at worst is liable to become mask off fascism as soon as public pressure from the left is on the wane. The rest of the world acknowledges that capitalism is the dividing line between right and left. If Bernie were a democratic socialist as he claims, he would be the lone national representation for socialism. He us in fact a social democrat (not sure why he always inverts them) and so marks the furthest left possible for US politicians at a national level. But, based on the dividing line of whether one supports capitalism, he is still right wing, just at the very edge of that ideology. There are a whole host of other ways to organize society but we are only ever shown variations on a single way. And that single way, global corporate hegemony supported and abetted by state power has been and continues to be catastrophic in its consequences. Think outside the box, do your own research, question your presuppositions and study both history and prehistory. Or not. You have agency over yourself and I don't side with those who would take that from you.
I did not understand how good German people could be lead down such a horrifying path. So I read everything published about it before 1989. It was a while ago so I have forgotten most names, dates and places. But I didn't forget the important take home that no one talks about. One third of the people you know will shove you in the oven, lock the door and stand there and listen to you scream. It is true that only one in six WWII soldiers actually shot at the enemy, but motivation was lacking and we fixed it in boot camp by the time we got to Vietnam. Given the right circumstances I would do it. That so many seem hot for the conflict probably relies on many different reasons, most of the not true but believed whole heartedly. That's all you need. LOL!The orange ogre has built himself a wall after all. A wall of misinformation we can't seem to breech.
Yeah, I used to wonder how that happened. I don't anymore. We have been watching it unfold before our eyes for the past 5-6 years.
@UC0aeA4GBshRFUaf5Iam1Pcw Work will set you free. I saw an actual sign when my Infantry company went to Dachau. Very sad place.
What the army did of the problem getting sane people to shoot at other people was to change the culture. One shot, one kill. Pop-up targets and for advanced rifle marksmanship sometimes two targets pop up, one is stationary and has priority and the other one moves horizontally for a few seconds.
Yes, a common phrase was ‘we could not see the end’, and ‘surely he will stop now’.
Another big factor is that people who normally wouldn’t get within a mile of the White House like Stephen Miller,
or Steve Bannon are given enormous power.
Then you have groups like the proud boys, more than willing to do the dirty
work.
