When did coup-organizing become a regular occurrence and expected function of government in Washington DC?

Was it the rise of progressives in the early 20th century? Certainly at least it when the USA was handed an empire after WWII.

He is so petty. He was a nobody when Trump appointed him, but then he joins with the liberal media in attacking him. He is interested in money.

The USA’s empire really began with the Spanish-American War, when we acquired Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Philippines...

Not so much a coup, since the government of Columbia didn’t change, but we split Panama off in 1903. So much for the inviolability and sanctity of international borders.

When the CIA was created.
