You know, DOGE, fascist president and corporations dictating what people can do, institutions being ruined, laws being ignored. Is there any way out of that or is it over? Is the USA done?

      That’s not webster’s dictionary. Here, let me link it. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/coup And if you’re feeling lazy, here’s the definition: 1 : a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics and especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group : coup d’état

      Since Trump didn’t attempt to overthrow anything, and he certainly didn’t use force, he didn’t attempt a coup.

      Glad we got that all cleared

        Haha yeah. Websters dictionary is the sole arbiter of political upheaval and is the singular source of authority on all events, past and present.

        Its not like there could possibly be any grey zone on what is or is not a coup. That would require critical thinking and an organization that catalogs and studies such events. That would be ridiculous! Oh wait
