As Adam Jentleson said, "A coup can't happen in America because in other countries where coups happen, they have Coup Laws that permit coups and we don't have those here."
The terrain that the coup took place on and had influence over wasn't that of conventional political power and process it was entirely insurgent and waged against the population to accelerate already existing sentiments. This is not a direct response to the original post.
Which coup?
Which sentiments?
Accelerated by which mechanisms? Who's behind the insurgency? Is it a foriegn nation state or are we talking domestic? If there's hard evidence demonstrating any of this, is anyone pursuing legal action against it? If not, why not? Is whatever you're taking about illegal, or are its outcomes just undesirable to certain parties?
So the coup is that people chose to vote for Biden?The common one that preyed on the inherently flimsy ethos of the american citizen and convinced them of a spiritual warfare or democratic-feels as a solution to irreconcilable material systemic failure.
A deliberate cultivation of weaponized xenophobia and magical thinking including the illusion of social peace and weaponizing of Democracy that has always been the building and maintaining of states and other abusive powers.
Accelerated by states of rapidly declining legitimacy in a global theater relying on extra-political, extra-military, extra-economic action, specific to their territory, due to an inherently unsustainable economic system that has brought a multitude of crisis which cannot be managed and have no solution at all. I am seeking to define current events that you are also aware of within these terms. Legality and rights are granted by the state, controlled via influence by the ruling order's dominant ethos, governing a population that adheres to this and exists exclusively as labor power and for the reproduction of those specific societies. The rights and legal world however hard it was fought and died for at times never existed as anything other than a stop-gap against insurrection.
