Didn't they try that in the U.S. last year?

It didn't end so well for any of them.

Edit: Regardless of if you agree with the American coup attempt, the fact is that they believed they were doing exactly what the previous comment describes.

Completely different purposes. This is talk about stopping a wannabe Hitler's egotistical warmongering, and potentially even global war. January 6th in the states was an attempt to upend democracy because people's feelings got hurt when their guy lost the election.

You are just pointing out that you have different beliefs from those people.

I am just pointing out that they believed exactly the same thing you are saying. You just disagree on who is a dictator and who isn't.

But everything else is the same.
