Summary:
Of course, the GOP believes in turn that the Democrats staged a coup from the moment of Trump's election in 2016, about which they would be right. On the other hand, the GOP did everything possible to remove Bill Clinton from office, in part as payback for the removal of Nixon. And Bush's victory in the Supreme Court can also be viewed as coup. So there is a long history to this inter-party feud. Complicating the matter is the rank and file of both parties has become so politicized that they demand extreme measures from their leaders, even if anti-democratic. Sop view much of what is now happening on the political stage in the US as posturing for the base.In any event, the losing side will not accept the legitimacy of the election.Banana republic?Defend DemocracyTrump Is Staging A Coup —
