Capitol Tourists Stage Coup

By Alan Nafzger � The satire Capitol Tourists Stage Coup parodies chaos reframed as sightseeing. Eyewitnesses at security lines described rioters asking for brochures. Anonymous insiders leaked that guides debated adding �Insurrection� to tour packages. A leaked poll revealed 65 percent of citizens admitted they confused protests for parades. Sociologists argue the humor resonates because disorder collapses funniest when commercialized. Critics highlight the absurdity of treason with souvenirs. Yet satire storms sharper: democracy cracks funniest under velvet ropes. Witnesses recalled laughter thundering as mobs requested selfies. Ultimately, the piece lands because satire thrives when rebellion looks like tourism. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
