It's not changing any minds is the thing. People already decided how they felt on this issue. And it was leaked this is what the Dems are counting on to stem their losses in the midterms. The prime time hearings really highlight that. It just seems like a desperate and failed political strategy. This isn't going how they wanted it to go.

One of the biggest traitors to the US has been Trump and his family

I mean besides Biden, or the Clintons, or Pelosi, or the entire Bush family. Dude wrote mean tweets, I didn't like him either, time to move on.

This might be the opinion on Saidit or Ruqqus or similar sites, but you can see on Reddit and other sources of the news that most people want the traitors to face a hearing and serve significant jail time. The rich and powerful should not be able to stage coups like this. We're not a fucking banana republic (yet). Traitors to the US deserve the worst kind of punishment. This I believe is a right-wing opinion (unless it applies to their own), whereas its the libtards who will want some sort of civilized, brief jail sentence. They deserve much worse. 200+ Oath Keepers and Trump and his family, and his cronies all need to swing.

A coup? The government was not in any danger of being overthrown by unarmed knuckleheads rioting in a state office building. A coup involves weapons and armies, neither of which was part of this. Angry Q-tards in costumes posting video of themselves on social media committing vandalism is not a coup

Here is a description of a coup I found on wikipedia

Operation PBFortune, also known as Operation Fortune, was a covert United States operation to overthrow the democratically elected Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz in 1952. The operation was authorized by U.S. President Harry Truman and planned by the Central Intelligence Agency. The United Fruit Company had lobbied intensively for the overthrow because land reform initiated by Árbenz threatened its economic interests. The US also feared that the government of Árbenz was being influenced by communists.

The coup attempt was planned with the support of the United Fruit Company, and of Anastasio Somoza García, Rafael Trujillo and Marcos Pérez Jiménez, the US-backed right-wing dictators of Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela respectively, who felt threatened by the democratic Guatemalan Revolution, and had sought to undermine it. The plan involved providing weapons to the exiled Guatemalan military officer Carlos Castillo Armas, who was to lead an invasion from Nicaragua.

Yes, some attempted coups are much more severe, and these are good examples. Still it was an attempted coup because it was an attempt to stop the confirmation of a democratically elected presidential candate. Anti-democratic groups like this are a danger to democracy. The Oath keepers also had guns nearby. The death penalty for the lot of them, and the associates. Thursday's hearing provided good evidence that it was indeed an attempted coup. BBC notes just now that Fox refused to air the hearing live. They also know it was an attempted coup.
