That time we elected Al Gore but the election was kicked into the courts-. Wasn't that a coup?

Nobody thinks having a huge war on terror in response to 9-11 was the plan, do they?
How completely different was the 2000 election to the Capitol Insurrection? How separate are the participants from Republicans back then? Totally, right,?

How unrelated was the 2000 election to our democracy problem,?

We live in a republic in the US, not a democracy. We use a democratic process to elect representatives, congressional or executive. The President is elected with votes from the electoral college. Bush won a majority of those and, once Gore gave up the “hanging chad” bullshit about Florida, Bush legally became president-elect.

Not a coup, it was the legal process playing out properly.
