We Are Watching A Slow-Motion Coup D’etat

The Federalist ^ | May 19, 2017 | James Downton

This coup d’etat is not only about President Trump. It represents not the rule of one man or even many, but by the multitude of our elites.

It’s nearly incontrovertible that a slow-motion coup d’etat is now taking place. Since November 9, 2016, forces within the U.S. government, media, and partisan opposition have aligned to overthrow the Electoral College winner, Donald Trump.

To achieve this they have undermined the institutions of the Fourth Estate, the bureaucratic apparatus of the U.S. government, and the very nature of a contentious yet affable two-party political system. Unlike the coup d’etat that sees a military or popular figure lead a minority resistance or majority force into power over the legitimate government, this coup d’etat is leaderless and exposes some of the deepest fissures in our system of government. This coup d’etat represents not the rule of one man or even many, but by the multitude of our elites.

This article outlines the mechanisms, institutions, and nature of this coup d’etat; not in defense of President Donald Trump — who has proven himself bereft of the temperament of a successful president — but in defense of the institutions of our republic that are now not just threatened, but may very well be on the verge of collapse...

The Left doesn't realize what kind of fire they're playing with here.

They know exactly what they are doing. Coup by innuendo.

There is absolutely no evidence to support their claims yet they have administration officials recusing themselves, RINO congress critters comparing this nothing sandwich to Watergate and they have their very own special counsel. Now they are looking for a commission.

Alinsky is proud so would be Goebbels.

To make it worse, they have idiots in the rank and file that think the second place finisher will be president of they succeed.

A successful slow motion coup will result is a rapid mega death event for the winners

No jail or exile for them....... death

Don’t they do realize that the people who elected Trump are the same people who have been stockpiling weapons and ammunition for the past 8 years?

As long as you beleive it’s only the Left deposing President Trump we will.surely lose.

[kiryandil]

Say what?

[kiryandil]

I have my fair share. :)

Not only that - that stuff is only "pump primer" for the Good Stuff.

[kiryandil]

I have yet to see any evidence that the right will physically do anything to protect the Constitution and President. It is all TALK.

Who the eff are you?

I drove to Washington in October 1998 to the March For Justice.

Were YOU there? Hmmmm?

[kiryandil]

Will there be massive demonstrations and a forceful confrontation of the Left, the Government and the Media or will people just let it happen?

Why bother voting, if you're just going to be told by your Owners who the president is going to be?

Also - many Trump supporters will be attacked using the IRS and other government agencies. They'd better be ready to fight BEFORE the fact.

Trump does have power to stop it, but everybody would soil themselves if he uses it. He’s the Commander in Chief.

I agree with your argument that it’s all about keeping the cheap labor express running. But I believe that is one rung down from the top of the ladder.

The ultimate goal of the elitists is the elimination of the white middle class. We’re the only thing standing in the way of their global takeover.

Flooding the country with illegals is an important step towards this ultimate objective.

I think I know what you’re suggesting, but could you please clarify?

Whoop de doo. Marching. Whoowee!

He’s Commander in Chief of the armed forces. That gives him some powers, especially in stopping a rebellion. He wouldn’t be the first to use it.

[Gargantua]

You must not remember The TEA Party gatherings on The Mall which drew over a million people. All conservatives.

Blah, blah this, you no-memory-having twit.
