people will tell me i'm being hysterical for raising concerns about a handful of the most powerful companies in history erasing a sitting president from the internet and in the same breath say duck dynasty earl and the vape lady attempted a "coup," like... folks

would you call it an attempted coup if they had destroyed the electoral college certificates, preventing certificaiton?
i would call it an attempted coup if they were an opposition party acting in conspiratorial concert with a military force capable of seizing power from our sitting, elected government, or if they were themselves said military force, aka an actual attempted coup

To use your verbiage, I would describe them as an "opposition party" to an "elected government" (though not sitting), acting in conspiratorial concert with the Commander in Chief of a "military force" capable of seizing power from that to-be-seated government. Seems close!

That feels like a lot of conditions to stack. It doesn't have to be a military to be a coup, and the likelihood of success doesn't seem relevant. Plus the goal was to disrupt electoral college just enough that it became 1-state-1-vote, that's more achievable but still a coup imo

Just because it was a shitty attempt does not mean it was not an attempt.

The fact that they are capable or not does not define whether it's a coup d'etat. The definition is much simpler: sudden removal of a government from power, usually through violent means. Often some faction of the military is involved but not always.
