Leftwing coup examples in the US are limited as the authorities are not going to let any left wing movements get anywhere near coup stage. But both those examples are anti-authority.
My point was that political violence is not confined to the right.
…and everyone elses point was “that’s not the topic”.
You’re addressing a statement “there’s never been any violence from any leftwing movement ever” that no one was making… And doing so across multiple comments so it makes it look like you’re trying to make it the topic, but still just wasn’t the topic or a things anyone was claiming.
The meme’s about America loving coups so much (even having caused some of the ones you’ve listed) and the thread is about a user joking that it’s even attempted a coup of America its self a couple of times.
With the exception of JFKs assassination, I don’t believe any of those were coup attempts (which I think is why you’re getting downvotes).

I responded to comment implying that coups only occur from the right.
I gave details of protests similar to 6th jan considered to be left wing, and an actual US coup.
In hindsight I should have listed
October Revolution (1917)
Cuban Revolution (1959)
Carnation Revolution (1974)
Grenadian Revolution (1979)
Iranian Revolution (1979)
Sandinista Revolution (1979)
