[Sir Napsalot]

How is it ‘a silent coup’?

Obama said upfront he’s going to fundamentally transform America, and majority of our ‘citizens’ agreed. Twice.

[PROCON]

It was silent in the way that it wasn't bloody; Military brass purged, SCOTUS compromised or threatened, 2 Republican Congressional leaders in Boehner and McConnell who were more interested in "getting along" then defending the party.

It was indeed a silent coup.

The question now is, what happens next?

“How is it ‘a silent coup’?”

No gunfire.
