When does a coup d’etat morph into a general insurgency? Have we reached that point?

Well, in the Spanish Civil War, the initial "pronuncimiento" failed--so they ended up with a civil war. The good news for us is that the U.S. military is not about to launch a coup--in spite of what dumbass Michael Moore says.

If these crap weasels want a war, let them start it now so that the U.S. military has clear constitutionally-based allegiance.

A coup d'état (/ˌkuː deɪˈtɑː/ (About this sound listen); French: [ku deta]), also known simply as a coup, a putsch (/pʊtʃ/), golpe de estado, or an overthrow, is a type of revolution, where the illegal and overt seizure of a state by the military or other elites within the state apparatus occurs.[1]
