This is not a coup, this is just politics being enacted. USAmericans are not used to things happening, I guess, but Trump and Musk are stomping over all protocol because they can, and unless their opposition is willing to stop them they will do whatever. Because that bloodied parchment has no material force and no matter what your class interests are, "checks and balances" are merely a convention. This is what politics actually looks like.
This keyboard warrior seems to be horrified at the mere notion that the Executive can decide what the state does, or that they're firing "security officials who follow protocols" (they say that 6 times). I truly hope this is a fake account from an angry laid off USAID worker trying to make a fuss, and not an actual human who believes this.
If "every American need to act now", he should lead by example rather than cheer from the sidelines. Go get 'em patriot. Pathetic.

I think they see it as a coup against their faction. The neocons have had control of permanent bureaucracy for decades on end, and all of a sudden they're getting purged. This is what the freak out is all about.
