You’re confusing coup with coup-de-etat.
Just pinging in to say I looking forward to the day when somebody finally reduces the sea levels. I want to see a very shallow state as a esult of the debacle.
No. Coup is a strike. A strike is a sudden action. coup-de-’-anything at all is a sudden strike in designated circumstances. he right is making the language meaningless just as surely as is the left. The current nastiness could conceivably result in a coup if certain elements of the CIA, say, were to suddenly strike at the president and successfully send a SWAT into the White House to kill or “arrest” him.
