We cannot continue to operate in a state of Normalcy Bias.

We suffered a coup.

History teaches that you cannot stop tyrants or those who perpetrated a coup by civil means.

The states could adopt and pass every Amendment in Levin’s book to stop the Federal Beast - and it will mean nothing because this regime has already demonstrated that it will not abide by the Rule of Law.

It will use force to impose it’s will and destroy anyone it thinks is a threat to itself.

Such is the nature of tyrants, and the nature of coups.

I'm not ready to go that far yet, except to say that election fraud is an attempted coup in my opinion.

That said, I don't think that the classic interpretation of a coup has happened, because we did hold elections and Obama did win.

Since winning, Obama has been increasingly usurping powers that he doesn't have, but historically that has been the case with strong president / weak Congress and vice versa, over time. Congress could stiffen up and push back in the next two years if it wanted to, so there are Constitutional means to swing the balance of power back to the equilibrium.

So I'm still sticking to the idea that the coup will happen when the Constitutionally elected president is ousted and replaced via non-Constitutional means.
