This is a coup. “Let’s call it what it is,” in the words of Joyce Vance. It’s the 21st century, so a coup no longer occurs with physical violence, but with a takeover of technology and the systematic gutting of our economy, our freedoms, and our entire democracy. Attorneys, historians and political scientists throughout the nation are clear. THIS IS A COUP. For those who stand up and fight back fearlessly, history will remember you well, even if our nation does not survive. (Come on, Dems, let’s get going!) For those who are cowering in silent acquiescence, I simply do not know how you look at yourself in the mirror as your constituents live in a state of fear, knowing this is the end of democracy if nothing is done to stop it. While there are plenty of ignorant trumpers out there (including in Congress, of course), you have many constituents who are well-educated, well-informed and savvy enough to know what is happening. Will you face us down and tell us why you hate our nation and care nothing for us?
