So the US has decided that it is a riot now not a coup attempt? Can't handle the truth?

Nobody in Spain denies this. Wonder why America is different.

American democracy remains strong. Turns out that if you try to subvert it, the law will ram you like a trailer.
The foot soldiers are getting rammed by the law. Yet, the generals are still walking free. The insurrectionist leader is running for President again and getting interviewed by CNN. Democracy is still under threat.

I don't necessarily disagree with you but on the other hand, we gotta start somewhere, and why not with the low hanging fruit?

#14still making arrests. What they are doing is reviewing every second of footage they can find, cross referencing every possible angle from video and going through all social media and connections. In days following jan 6th, all social networks and smaller tube sites were harvested for jan 6th footage and stored on database, which is still being reviewed. Looking for distinguishing features like hats, masks, etc. here…

America's democracy was subverted loooong ago, its called Wall Street...they figured it out - when you write the laws, you don't need to worry about breaking the law
but keep thinking you are standing guard arresting some rednecks
keep your credit score up! compliance is important
the system is so thoroughly subverted that yes, voting is a waste of time...its amusing to watch the lemmings put the little "I Voted!!" sticker on their shirts like it matters...

From your linked article, first paragraph:
>Lieutenant-Colonel Antonio Tejero led 200 armed Civil Guard officers into the Congress of Deputies during the vote to elect a President of the Government. The officers held the parliamentarians and ministers hostage for 18 hours, during which time King Juan Carlos I denounced the coup in a televised address, calling for rule of law and the democratic government to continue. The royal address fatally undermined the coup. Though shots were fired, the hostage-takers surrendered the next morning without killing anyone.
I really do not see the equivalence here at all. Only through a highly partisan stretch could a professional gymnast make this leap.

Peacefully occupying a building and leaving on your own accord is not a coup. If you think this is comparable to armed groups lead by the military occupying parliament and threatening to murder the people inside if demands are not met, I have no idea what to say.

Care to reframe your question as an argument? I don’t see the relevance. Sorry for feeding the trolls but I thought there was a point in there.

Remember when the right seceded from the United States, killed 360000 citizens, and still wave that flag without any consequences whatsoever?
