What’s this Clown Car Coup?
Can anyone explain to a non American?


@Hisabah

Rebooblicans tried to overturn an election but they're so incompetent and shambolic, they're all headed for prison instead.

@Hisabah In America, circuses used to have clown troupes, and a common gag was a tiny car would drive in, and a surprising number of clowns would get out. So,, a clown car is a tiny car packed with clowns.

A Clown Car Coup, as in this image, would be the protester's way of comparing Trump, Giuliani, and the rest of the inssurectionists to a bunch of clowns. Because they are absolutely insanely stupid when it comes to committing crimes. Just laughable.

Does that help? :)

@KGinKS

Wow. That goes back a few years but now I can grok the fullness of the description.

Is this bit serious or a joke?
“” Reince Priebus … was elected chairman of the Republican National Committee on the seventh ballot on Jan. 14, 2011, because delegates thought his name was Latin for “none of the above.””

@Hisabah
I'm going with joke, he was general counsel for the RNC before being elected chairman.
