Reminder that this guy's approval dropped 30 points within 3 months of taking office. Dude is an embarrassment.

“I want to declare martial law.”

“That’s a charisma check. Make your roll.”

*rattle rattle* “…it’s a 1…”

“The members of parliament convene and end martial law by unanimous vote. You are in massive trouble and nobody likes you.”

President: i declare martial law
Parliament: stop that
President: okay

[warheadsnation]

This is the most pathetic surrender since Prigozhin gave up halfway to Moscow.

[prossnip]

This has got to be bar none the politest coup attempt in human history

President: I declare martial law
Parlament: Lol no you don't
President: Okay, i don't

To be fair immense public pressure and the fact that not even the military was on board with this helped immensely

The saddest coup in history (Bolivia) vs the saddest coup today (Korea)

7:37 there is something surreal about CNN covering this story in English while the reporter keeps saying it is hard to understand as a muffled South Korean president keeps talking from a podium on the other side of the screen with no captions or explanation. It genuinely feels like an Onion video where a leader gives a super important talk but nobody was available to translate.

Whatifalthist is taking credit for this as his predicted "incel uprising" lol

[supervideomaker]

Low key jealous of South Korea. At least they defended their democracy. Meanwhile America seems to be slipping more and more to authoritarianism… with cheers :(

Beats the Coup Bolsonaro's supporters tried in Brazil when they raided an empty building. 🤣

[snuzzlebumble]

Trump could declare marshal law on the US day 1 and half the country would cheer

"Yoon rolls worst coup ever. Asked to leave government."

[Redrgon]

According to the The Dictator's Handbook: Why Bad Behavior is Almost Always Good Politics by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, the success and failure of a coup is always up to the military.

Trump would feverishly be taking notes if he was literate.

[JinKee]

We can’t let South Korea take the crown for worst coup attempt! USA #1! USA! USA! USA!

[Liberater]

very interesting to see a lot of right wing figures on twitter immediately declare their support for it, just really telling

[dogwithacoolhat]

All you need to end a democracy: good PR, military backing, friendships with the financial elite, and patience. Remember patience is the most important part because if you move too quick everything else can't be properly utilized.

Man, where's Smedley Butler when you need him?

Context: he was a Marine officer who prosecuted the Banana Wars and the US occupation of the Philippines after the Spanish- American War. After WWI, he led the veteran's march on DC for their combat pay, was approached by "someone" about overthrowing the US government (The Business Plot), and then have a speech on the steps of the Capitol Building basically denouncing his own military service and calling out the unholy marriage of business interests and the military. A true blue American hero, which is why you probably have never heard of him.

President does CRINGE coup, asked to leave by parliament and military.
