The people hide, waiting, and hand wringing, with images in our head that tilt toward either, Never-Paying-a-Personal-Price or Tienanmen Square. Surely we are to do something. Or, Not.
Historically it has ended up the responsibility of the people - The American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution. In terms of a coup d'etat, the usurping partisan group needs firm backing from either the military, the law enforcement organs or the intelligence organs; more than one is better. Of course the media is a factor but not decisive alone.
What the Dems, the DS and the globalists have done is meld all three in to this usurpation of our democratic republic. If efforts cannot tear two of them away then the correction falls to the people acting. Turkey presents an example; with the fall of the Ottoman Empire the military supported and sustained a secular government for nearly a century. Various attempts to establish an Islamic theocracy were set aside by the military to restore the secular government. What Erdogan did was to weaken the military's dominance in order to reassert the theocratic control of the state.
Here the planned coup covered all those bases, covered them effectively. I suspect this latest move to reorganize the military is in order to strengthen their grip on the nation. Observe the lengthening occupation of D.C. by the Guard, something the Pentagon worked to deny - refused - Prez Trump.
