It was an autocoup attempt, and I'd say it failed because the guy who made the pipe bombs failed more than any other reason. Maybe it was wet in his basement, or maybe his wires were corroded. Maybe he'd been taking too many painkillers a given day and some crucial step slipped his mind. Or maybe he was waiting just a few more minutes.
I agree no new election was needed, but that's a common ploy by dictators. The like to stage "free and fair" elections in which they receive over 95% of the vote and then gloat over how loved they are. That's right up Trump's ally; look at all my devoted followers.
Why is it so?
