re: uspol, loathing
@spacewastrel@yiff.life "Insurrection" is still VERY much on the table. I'd give it about an 80-90% accuracy if I were forced to put a number on it. I'm about around 60-70 on sedition, maybe 40-50 on treason because that has VERY SPECIFIC LEGAL DEFINITIONS in the US for very good reasons.
Admittedly, my objection to "coup" was kinda pedantic -- but I do think it's a really important distinction to make, between "violent, seditious, illegal uprising" and "actual credible attempt to hijack the functions of state and replace the legitimate elected goverment with a ruling junta."
