The United States has undergone a coup. Having observed no martial conflict, you might think that I have gone off my rocker. But not all coups are physically violent. They can occur because poisonous ideas take hold and subvert the society. The United States is defined by the Constitution, and when the Constitution is eroded away, so is the United States.
The Constitution has been eroding away for a long time. The liberals said the Constitution had to be a living document, which means that it is forever changing, which means redefined, which means eroded.
The Tenth Amendment was lost to Abraham Lincoln. George W. Bush got rid of habeas corpus in the name of national security when he declared that the “terrorist threat” gave him the power to hold American citizens indefinitely without presentation of evidence to a court, without trial and conviction. And he did. Obama one-upped Bush. He said he could execute American citizens on suspicion alone without due process of law. And he did. Bush and Obama were not held accountable for their violation of the US Constitution.
Today free speech and association are dead letter rights. Everyone can now censor our free speech–employers, school boards, people claiming they are “offended,” social media, print and TV media. People who say something “offensive” can be erased and never heard from again. What this means is that whoever controls the right to be “offended” can cancel the free speech of those who cannot claim to be “offended.” Without free speech, there is no debate, just the imposition of approved views.

You can also tell a coup has occurred when traditional patriots like Make America Great Again Trump supporters and Oath Keepers are demonized by media and government officials as “domestic extremists,” persecuted, and imprisoned on false charges, such as the Americans who attended a rally in support of Trump and were turned, with Republican complicity, into “insurrectionists” who tried to seize control of the government by taking selfies of themselves sitting in Nancy Pelosi’s chair.
When something so juvenile can be designated an insurrection, you know a coup has occurred. The message is clear. Those supporting the established order against the coup that is being imposed are enemies of the people.
You can also tell a coup has occurred when perversity of all kinds, particularly sexual, is celebrated and normality is derided as “fascism” or some form of phobia or other word of abuse. When the moral high ground is held by LGBT– people who cannot reproduce–and nature’s norm of heterosexual is regarded. as an unjustified definition of normality, the natural order has been overthrown.

Temporarily.
That’s how voting democracies work. Sorry pal.
Author must be a democrat !
“ The Tenth Amendment was lost to Abraham Lincoln.”
Just blames Republicans and not the demonic democrats !!!
If the US wasn't an oligarchy before Lincoln, it was so by the end of his presidency.
Wait at least until results of November 8th mid-terms are out. May be majority of Americans are waking up. But do not hold your breath.
True enough.
And, beyond that, if the Republicans take control, will the Republicans attempt to govern as if they are in control, or will they still let Pelosi and Schumer govern because, hey, elections don't matter?
If Joe Biden is effectively blocked and faces a credible impeachment effort, then I would say we may have dodged a coup. But I don't know if that will happen.
Waking up? More like fighting your way past the gas tube they’re shoving down your throat. America, today, is unbelievable.
Depending on your age it's unrecognizable.
I don’t think it is necessary to impeach Biden. That will just divide the country more.
If they gain control of Senate & House, all republicans need to do is tie up his hands so he can not get any more anti-America and wasteful and loaded with pork type bills to sign.
All of the blame belongs on the Al Gore of his day !
John C Breckinridge !
They are not done. Even if we win the elections in a few days, the Fed will still be working to move us to a digital currency. Once done, game over.
I did say impeach. I had a brain fart. I really mean to invoke the 25th Amendment.
What is that Amendment for if it is not for removing a sick president who cannot perform his duties? I’d like to see Congress demand medical proof that Biden is coherent and not constantly pumped full of drugs.
Either that or repeal the thing as pointless since no one ever intends to use it.
Plus a lot of the spending spelled out in the bills that passed this year have to be funded in future appropriations. So Congress can refused to fund them.
“Temporarily”
That is so right. We are still here, thanking God for the 2nd Amendment.
“divide the country more”
i always laugh when i see that phrase
arent most elections decided within a close range around 50 percent?
if someone gets 60% its a landslide
this country has always been divided
In a word - secession. It’s time to start talking terms of seperation.
Bttt.

I’ve read some nutty stuff recently, but the author of this piece is an embarrassment. Needs to get back on his meds, put on his big boy underpants and get to work. Maybe writing fiction, like a sequel to ‘Man In The High Castle’. What a whiner.
Currently democrats hold majority in congress and occupy the White ouse. So we are not currently divided.
