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)

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.
