Stop Trivializing The Term 'Coup': Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix

Stop trivializing the term “coup”. It’s a real thing the US government really inflicts on other countries in a way that actually does topple governments and cause immense destruction. You cannot take over the US government with a small squadron of wingnuts. That’s not a thing.
A coup attempt doesn’t have to be successful for that term to be legitimate, but it does have to have some possibility of success.
