[Bolivian President] Arce confronted the general commander of the Army — Juan José Zúñiga, who appeared to be leading the rebellion — in the palace hallway, as shown on video on Bolivian television. “I am your captain, and I order you to withdraw your soldiers, and I will not allow this insubordination,” Arce said.

Shortly after, the armored vehicles roared out of the plaza, tailed by hundreds of military fighters as police in riot gear set up blockades outside the government palace.

This is a new era, when reigning governments have discovered that you can just say 'no' to a coup.

Bro just said no and then they realized it was illegal so they couldn't do it.

What a Chad move.

"W-we're going to coup you..."

"You can't. It's literally illegal."
