The Coming Coup
American Thinker ^ | 5 Jul, 2024 | Craig Oknin

The January 6 Capitol breach has been called an attempted coup; it was not a coup, but a coup by the extreme left is possible in the future. Before I make my case, a few points should be made about January 6. David Harsany pointed out in the New York Post that the J6 protestors had no plan; a study at Harvard showed that most Jan 6 protestors did not believe they were overruling democracy, but preserving it:

The documents show that Trump and his allies convinced an unquantifiable number of Americans that representative democracy in the United States was not only in decline, but in imminent, existential danger… This belief translated into a widespread fear of democratic and societal breakdown, which, in turn, motivated hundreds of Americans to travel to DC from far corners of the country in what they were convinced was the nation’s most desperate hour.

The first question to ask if speculating on an hypothetical leftist coup is this: Are there a substantial number of people in the United States who would like to see an anti-American revolution?

It’s hard to quantify, but there’s certainly a sizable population, made evident by the noise they make.

During the Antifa riots, apart from the violence, there were chants: “No border, no wall, no USA at all.”

During the recent pro-Hamas demonstrations on campuses and elsewhere, anti-American views were overt: For instance, students at the University of Michigan participating in the protests were given pamphlets titled “10 anarchist theses on Palestine solidarity in the United States,” which included a page that stated, “Freedom for Palestine means Death to America.” The slogan “Death to America” was chanted in nearby Dearborn, Michigan, during a rally on the last Friday of Ramadan.

It is the left that hates the USA and wants to fundamentally change the country.

The “coming coup”? The left have already waged a hostile, and violent overthrow of our government- ignoring court orders, imprisoning their opponents, imprisoning elderly women who protest at abortion clinics, harassing nurses that expose illegal surgeries on minors, imprisoning a cop for the self inflicted death of a drug addict, throwing Bannon and the other fella in prison for “ignoring subpoenas” (despite liberals ignoring them with no repercussions) etc etc etc.

“Coming coup”? Its already hear and in full swing

‘A former Muslim, Sana Ebrahimi warned that many Muslims coming into the West do not share our values, and “they do not play around.”’

Aren’t Muslims commanded by Islam to invade, not migrate, to all countries in the world to conquer them and form a worldwide Caliphate under Sharia Law? They do this by first creating doubt in the present form of government and then slowly but surely assume control. Look at the Congressional Squad’s actions to try to control the government and how the pro-Palestine protester drafted mostly young people to support their cause of destroying Israel.

I hope that when the pantifas come back out and start their bs that people rise up and give them what for. Why should decent people tolerate this behavior? If you see one, shoot one.

Things come, Things go. Just look at the history of this land
called the USA since Columbus sailed in 1492.

The invaders came in and set up a gov’t. They went to Africa
and brought in their natives to do the grunt labor both male
and female. A war was fought in the mid-1800s to free the
slaves. As things changed over time rules/leaders/government
changed and today it is what it is. Hang loose and people will
be residing in outer space in another 50 yrs or less.

The leftist coup occurred when Joe Burden was installed in the White House despite not being elected.

Yep, and Barack Obama said so overtly in 2008.
