the coup was orchestrated by those who would stifle the voices of Americans' objecting to extra-judicial, unilateral, military forays into other "foreign" country's internal affairs while, in the same breath, falsely claiming a mythical "high ground" in defense of their own blatantly illegal actions.

and the similarities are breath-taking
Start by denigrating the opposition party's name. Then call everything they do communism or socialism - then promote food shortages, promote the evangelical bullshit, blah blah blah! Gather all the lumpen, con men , pedos, rapists, adulterers, fraudsters etc. Let the usual suspects finance all operations. Then call it legitimate political discourse - After all, they're saving the country - right. .I lived though US led the destabilization.
The good news is that so far they have failed
