 We Are Watching A Slow-Moving Coup D’etat
This coup d’etat represents not the rule of one man or even many, but by the multitude of our elites.

By James Downton
May 19, 2017

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.

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.

For the record, I am not a "thread Nazi". I'm more of a "thread killer", as I often stray from the path. lol

2008 Obama holds Potus and dems hold both chambers of the legislature.

2016 complete reversal and also many governorships and states houses added to the GOP side.

It must be terribly disheartening to look at those empirical metrics. So this coup is what they have come up with--use what they have.

And what they have is the army of non-political govt. beaurocrats, and the major media.

Yeah.... well....  they can try.

If they want that civil war they've been presumably trying to push us towards... 

they'll get it.  Good & hard.

I happen to know that enough folks in America are FTFU/sick and tired of their leftist crap.  Cause I'm one of them.  In fact, I've been fed up for the past two decades.

IMO, what we are seeing is a coup d'etat. No parsing. A flat out coup d'etat by the left which includes the partisan media.
