    Misusing the word coup so it can lose its meaning. Typical republican bs.

      Also classic move for Hamas apologists w/r/t “genocide”.

          Please dont block, if you can stand it. We need sane people here to downvote the trolls instead.

    Of course they want people to consider it a coup. They want that word to mean nothing

    They’re just mad because they thought when Biden stepped aside the Dems would devolve into infighting and chaos. You know, like Republicans would.

      Goodness, could you imagine the sheet storm if Trump backed out?

        Or if that assassination attempt had been successful?

      Oh they know. Theyre watering down the word to uselessness so it doesnt matter that four years ago they all hated Trump for the coup attempt and now theyre fucking helping him plan the next one.

      It makes total sense when you look at what they don’t consider a coup.

        Or that they intentionally misuse words to diminish their impact and normalize pejoratives so they can be even shittier right out in the open.

      Honestly if you watch Mr. Garrsion as Trump episodes they’re rather innocent and cute in retrospective. I think it’s become apparent that mocking Trump is dangerous because he often turns out so much worse than you ever imagined.

      I’d preface this by saying I voted for Hillary in 2016 - but Trump is so much fucking worse than I ever thought he could be.

      Is it any surprise they aren’t familiar with the definition? They’ve spent the past three and a half years alleging January 6th wasn’t one.

    It’s not a coup if Biden stepped down, duh.

    It’s about the same as me accusing Trump of being a murderer for eating a cheese burger. It’s a nonsequiter.
