Trump Is Simply Their Stooge… Trump Is Just The Frontman; Congress, The Supreme Court and The Conservative Far Right are all a part of the Takeover…
For those who aren’t familiar with the term “Soft Coup,” here are the differences in a Coup d’ Etat or Coup and a Soft Coup. All three are terms used to describe the undertaking and activity of taking over a government.
The more familiar coup d’ etat, commonly referred to simply as a coup, describes an illegal violent or forceful overthrow of the government that usually includes the military and police or outside militias.
A soft coup, sometimes referred to as a silent coup, is different. Unlike
a classical coup d’état, it is achieved without the use of force or overt violence. The rationale is that democracy should be a system where the general will must be absolute, and that the populist leader describes himself as the representative of the general will by virtue of having been elected by the people.
The “silent coup “ leaders feel that the will of the leader equals the general will, and that any limits on the will of the leader would be also a limit to the general will. Opposition to the leader is treated as an act against democracy, justifying persecution of the opposition, forced nationalizations and limits to freedom of speech and press.
The method was well planned, detailed and strategic. It took more than Trump himself to instigate this soft coup. While the foundation was laid many years ago, the final pieces were put in place with the development of Project 2025.
With the backing of The Heritage Foundation, oligarchs, Christian Nationalist, conservative corporations, fascist, misogynist, conspiracy theorist, racist, homophobes and the conservative press, the stage was set, and now Trump and his minions have put it in motion. We are facing a Soft Coup and the only way we can stop is at the polls. We must vote in numbers like never seen before if we want to end this threat.
