    He had literally no support, from anyone. Zero allies. It was an absolutely whacky thing to do no matter how you look at it. Compared to other genuinely powerful coup attempts that have failed it’s clownshit, look at the gang of eight for example, that was a genuinely powerful coup attempt that failed. When you compare the two it’s fucking weird that he ever thought it was a good idea, that he and others planned it for presumably weeks/months beforehand and at no point thought to themselves that they probably shouldn’t do it without allies.
