We Are Watching A Slow-Motion Coup D’etat

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.

[kiryandil]

Oh, the IRONY:

MoveOn.org, formed in 1998 to advocate to "censure Bill Clinton, and move on" for his obstruction of justice felonies, now screams for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

For - wait for it - "obstruction of justice"...

The winner of the electoral college is known as the president of the United States...trying to over throw the government is called treason

It seems we have some real badasses running State, CIA, DHS, etc.. Why has there not been more damn sh*tcanning of liberals working there?

Gee, thanks for the helpful editorializing.

Screw you b-----s—you're part of the problem...

What does Pompeo do with his days? Sketch org charts and plan banquets?

[SoFloFreeper]

Downton can cram his snide comment about DJT. The man is an outsider who has run plenty of businesses.

The GOP had better seize control of their minions in the federal gubmint or get used to being a minority party for 70 years. Or longer.

And this is how it was initiated.

Hillary was actually right about something when she said that not recognizing the winner of the election was bad for democracy-—

ever since the election the left and the media have been doing their best to destroy America’s representative democracy in the name of going after trump.

We are watching fake news and Bullshit choke out the majority of the MSM.

I think we should declare a new national holiday for the Swamp seditionists:

Hempmas.

"It's beginning to look a lot like Hempmas, everywhere we go..."

(Sung to the tune of "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas")

[Gargantua]

I hope this is a coup d'etat, because I and 58-million other legally voting Americans are four-square behind President Donald J. Trump, and we're all locked and loaded.

Bring it, pussies. We'll trade your pelts like trophies.

[kiryandil]

Yeah, I know - but we have to use his crude weapon against our enemies in the Swamp.

Federalist bump for later.....

[kiryandil]

I agree - but the enemy of our enemies in this instance is our friend.

We have to mobilize Trump voters and others to realize that this is an assault on US.

I'll use a weapon with a little grime and stink on it, rather than no weapon.

You're in for The Million Rope March, I take it? 😀

This question has been asked around the edges, but it needs to be in the consciousness of voters who put Trump in the White House. If he is driven from or removed from office, will the people do anything to stop the overthrow of the elected government? Will there be massive demonstrations and a forceful confrontation of the Left, the Government and the Media or will people just let it happen?

[rlmorel]

This is a deliberate and fraudulent attempt by the Left (which is inclusive of the media) to disenfranchise the choice of voters who did not vote for their candidate.

The stunning double standard (not stunning to those who have paid attention for the past three or four decades) is plain to see.

Through eight years of the Clinton administration (the single most morally corrupt in modern history) and eight years of the Obama administration (the most anti-American and ideologically perverted in all of American history) there were deeds and policies that dwarf even the things the Trump administration is accused of doing that they simply HAVEN’T done.

We are at war with people who do not conduct themselves as our countrymen. The left knows it and is acting accordingly. Many of us know it, but can’t fully face it. By disenfranchising us in this fashion, they will force us to recognize it, and God help us all when we do.

The MSM is a large part of the problem with a substantial portion of its paychecks written by Disney, Comcast, Time Warner, CBS.

When the good citizens begin to demonstrate/protest with their wallets, things will change.
