Emphasis added.

It’s no surprise at all to me that you argued it was a coup and also that it wasn’t a coup in the same thread.

But you claimed you never argued it wasn’t a coup. It matters not if you didn’t actually say it in your own words, beaause you did “argue” it. So, if you argued it was a coup 1,000,000 times and that it wasn’t a coup once, you were still wrong.

Never say never.
