Was it an "attempted coup" ??

[David__77]

81. What's occurring now is the "2020 USA attempted coup d'etat."

I use present tense because I do not think that the danger is passed.

While I don't know that Wikipedia for instance will have an entry "2020 USA attempted coup d'etat," I do think that's what it is.

It is most certainly an attempted coup. That the Supreme Court was asked to take the action requested itself constitutes a coup attempt. And it's not the only component. There are former military officers including Michael Flynn agitating openly for suspension of the constitution. There are pro-coup rallies and pro-coup media. There has been restaffing of positions that would be important to the administration of further efforts in this coup attempt.

There is a danger from Trump most especially until he is deprived of the presidency.

While it could turn out another way, I would not at all be surprised by Trump taking all sorts of actions including those that may require his arrest.

Here is pro-coup messaging from a well-known conservative yesterday: http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/kincaid/201214
