Edit: By “overthrow” I mean an actual attempt to topple the government, not wandering around aimlessly in a building for 4 hours stealing furniture.
If you actually oppose power you would almost certainly be FBI’d long before you could ever get to a position where you could conceivably stage a coup.
Being barred from election is a very quaint punishment for leading a failed coup.

That so-called insurrection was a joke even to the state media the day it happened and for several days afterward. Then about 2 weeks later or so they tried to spin it into some horrible tragedy that almost plunged the US into an autocratic dictatorship.
The cops openly invited people in. That’s not at all how it would go if there was any threat whatsoever.
