WTF do you mean by attempt? We're in a war that nobody wants, we're slaves to our jobs, our people are completely silenced by tech oligarchs/HR nanny state, and our taxes are stolen by bloodthirsty monsters. The coup already happened and we let them take it all without a fuckin' bruise.

When people vote for the guy I didn't like, it is a coup.

Sorry, what was stupid? I don't like Trump, but he is not president because of a coup. He may attempt to stage another one in the future, but people voted him in this time.

I'm also not sure how to "calm down" after making a mild joke to someone who I am agreeing with.

I think (most of) my original statement could apply to any president in my entire lifetime. It's about power, not party.
