        How about a counter-coup to halt Elon Musk’s brazen seizure of power and the administration’s illegal firings and shuttering of government agencies?

        Half the people are dumber than avarage and american avarage is very low. It is also the job of democracy to protect the people from themselves. Coup the coup or be couped.

        Most americans want this.

        I doubt this, since less than 25% of the total population actually voted for Trump.

        And yes staging an actual coup might be a bad idea, but doing nothing or things that have no effect is an even worse idea imo

                There are millions of people living in the so called USA who are not eligible to vote or for whom its not accessible. Examples are young people below the voting age, felons, migrants or those in precarious living conditions.

                Funny how someone with an anti electoral mindset has to point that out to someone who seems to be a supporter of electoralism.

                  I’m simply pointing out the Trump won the election with a majority of the electoral college and won the popular vote.

                  He won the contest by the rules and some people can’t seem to wrap their minds around it.

                    I guess you always meant it more like " Trump won the election with a majority of the electoral college and won the popular vote", so maybe this discussion was kinda unnecessary, but I for me there is a clear difference between those two statements which I wanted to point out. I think its helpful to make clear that there are more than 77% of people living in the US that in fact did not vote for Trump and might be receptive for many different ways of resisting the fascist coups.
