Coups that end in a bloody mess quickly are usually violent to begin with.  So I reject that analogy in this case simply because it was a coup of subversion as opposed to an armed variant. And because of this, the counter must be timed and massaged. Trump could have arrested them all the day after inauguration..but smart people know that would have been a bad idea.  The fact is that this needs to happen with as much public support as possible.  Most people aren't like us.  Most people need to be slowly and deliberately guided into the truth before they'll accept what needs to be done. It's not all talk.  There's plenty going on both behind the scenes and otherwise.  Patience.
