Forty years ago an actual coup attempt was unthinkable. It would have scared Americans to the core. There would have been real investigations, real arrests, and real jail time. Most people no matter what their political affiliation would have condemed this act and demanded accountability.

Today it’s actually happened and half the country not only does not care, their only concern is that it didn’t succeed. It’s really hard to see how we ever recover fron this level of lawlessness. Surely we can never unite with those that desire unlimited government. I fear we remain on a course that can only end in the breakup of the nation into two seperate countries or a violent and bloody war.

There was the alleged conspiracy dreamt up by FDR supporter Smedley Butler in 1933.

IMO, it's actually worse than that. A significant number of them wish that it HAD succeeded...

“Today it’s actually happened and half the country not only does not care, their only concern is that it didn’t succeed”

The evidence of a coup attempt has not been clearly presented to “the country”, or you might say it hasn’t gotten our attention.

“The country” has yet to absorb the massive emerging truth that Trump was falsely, knowingly, accused of collusion with Russia.

“The country” has yet to absorbe the truth that the Clinton team broke laws.

“The country” has yet to absorb the truth that our media has lied to us.

I’m not as cynical about “the country” as the author is.

Half the country does not know there was a coup attempt. So why would they care? They believe the media lies and propaganda they have been fed.

Not the first the fascists have attempted a coup against a US president. Here’s one from the 1930s:

These Wall Street millionaires literally plotted to overthrow the president

BTW, none of the coup plotters were punished.

Heck, two years ago, if it all came out at once, would have brought out a million Patriots to DC with torches and pitchforks. The slow, steady drips innoculated the evildoers from mob action. And the idiot Q brigade said the slow reveals was a good thing. Useful idiots that they are.

(I pointed that out long ago.)

“Trust Sessions!”
“The midterms are safe!”

Useful. Idiots.

Not so. It was just 45 years ago that a successful Dem / media / deep state coup forced the president of the US out of office, having previously removed his conservative VP in favor of a "moderate." One result of that coup was the communist genocide throughout Southeast Asia.

You are correct. In these times Unions, Colleges,Public Schools, News Media,Entertainment industry, Music,TV shows and commercials are all controlled by hard core Socialist Libs. It is all available 24/7 at ones finger tips. It is absolutely amazing that Trump is in offica at all. I will stay with Trump. He has my support.

Excellent point.

Also, who would believe we’d live in a time where a major political party would not just tolerate illegal aliens but would promote them as better and more worthy to be in this country than Americans.

FBI got rid of Nixon more than 40 years ago.
