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...

You better wake up, knuckle-dragging bird brain. Trump is being subjected to a "soft coup", and nobody is doing anything about it. We will lose Trump simply by watching it happen.

Why do "conservatives" attack their own? All I am trying to do is wake people to the job at hand. All the while, people like you cling to four year old history and attack those "on message". Just kiss my ass.

Great job "getting the word out," to all of the FReepers who already knew about it before your self-appointed grandstanding gig. You simple Mongol horde instigator.

Ride that hairy pony down offa them steppes, and join the modern world. Trump ain't going nowhere except in the fevered wet dreams of spit-spattered imbeciles like Nasty Pelosi, Maxi-pad Waters, and apprently, you!

What a ridiculous egg fart.

Good, attack you own kind. That will support Trump just the way the leftists like it.

What are YOU going to do to push back on the anti-Trump hysteria? Throw barbs at me. Good job.
