This Is A Silent Coupe…

24 Aug

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.

The Perfect Storm…

2 Jul

When conditions are right, a perfect storm will develop with the potential to destroy everything in its path. Today’s SCOTUS decision on Trump’s immunity may be the final element to unleash the mightiest storm to ever reach America’s shores.

Because of this Supreme Court decision, there is little chance of the most important Trump federal felony case going to trial before the election. Trump appointed Judge Canon has all the power to see the case never reaches trial, and she’ll use it if she can.

In addition, Trump’s Georgia election interference case is caught up in a quagmire due to a bad decision by the prosecutor. That case, too, is stalled out and dead in the water for now.

A trial, even without a conviction in either of those two cases could have been instrumental in preventing Trump from reaching the White House in 2025 and changing the course of the storm.

And finally, the big wind blowing; Biden’s performance in the debate was so poor that even many strong Democratic supporters are calling for his withdrawal. In addition, it’s not just the far-right press questioning his capacity, but some mainstream media outlets are reporting the story in a negative light.

Recent post debate polls are showing a decline in positive attitudes toward Biden by independents and undecideds. These are the two groups of voters who will make the difference in the election. If they swing toward Trump, he wins.

How do you stop a perfect storm? You can’t, it has to blow itself out or change course. If you’re in its path, you have to be prepared and protect yourself in every way possible.

We’re not yet in the eye of the storm with hopes of clear weather ahead, we’re facing its strongest winds and must make the best decisions for our survival.
