Most coups try to keep much of the society and government apparatus intact, merely changing who’s in charge. This illusion of continuity is intended to gain the population’s acquiescence by avoiding the appearance of a bloody civil war.
And that’s exactly what we got. While Donald Trump does not lie in a bloody toga on the floor of the Senate, America witnessed a
coup d’état equally as vicious. Many will deny one took place because their guy won but, make no mistake, virtually every American knows one did,
even if only 56% admit it.
The moment the coup began to reveal itself Americans knew something was amiss. Many went to bed on November 3rd believing that Trump was leading in enough states to secure an electoral victory, including in
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Wisconsin. Strangely, however, while America slept, densely populated Democrat counties like Fulton (Atlanta) in Georgia and Allegheny (Pittsburgh) in Pennsylvania “
stopped counting“ votes only to “restart” later when Biden suddenly got enough votes to swing the state blue. Similarly,
Philadelphia stopped “reporting” at 1 AM and later
announced Biden had won the state.
The morning of the 4th, as cries of fraud came from red areas across the country, the side that cried “
election fraud” for four years suddenly fell silent. Apparently, 2020 had become the “
most legitimate election in American history“.
Joseph Stalin said, “Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.” That’s exactly how we went from being a constitutional republic to a banana republic, but rather than the
United Fruit Company or the CIA running the coup, it was Mark Zuckerberg, Democrats, the FBI, and the media.

Immediately after Biden was sworn into office Molly Ball of TIME Magazine wrote
a glowing paean to the coup:
And as with any good coup, Democrats threatened violence: “The nation was braced for chaos. Liberal groups had vowed to take to the streets, planning hundreds of protests across the country.” In this context, “protests” is a metaphor for
Democrat-approved BLM and Antifa violence unleashed across America. Ball points out that, following Biden’s victory, Democrats called off the threatened violence: “There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs.”
