I also find it odd that his best chance of going to prison isn't even related to the fact he tried to stage a coup.
Any other person, it would've been treason and locked up for life (if not a death sentence) for even trying - no question needed.

Well, there's also a weirdly huge number of people in places of power that're on his side, and there's nothing to be done about it.

There is, but we don't have the stomach for it. France did it once.

We could have the stomach for it, but we'd have to get through a shitload of rednecks, good ol' boys, and the military & police.

That's funny because that's also what you will say the next time he will be in power and won't leave. Y'all need to revolt before you pikachu face into a dictature.

Sounds like quite the flaw in the system.

That's typically how a coup takes place.
