No, not that one you perv. I'm talking about "coup." Now, let me be clear in this that I don't see the current situation as a coup by Trump at this point, but this tweet from Ezra Klein got me thinking about it:
If we saw the head of the ruling regime, and his party, react to the election results this way in any other country, we'd know exactly what we are looking at.

And I'd say here, too, it's time to be honest and say we know exactly what we are looking at. https://t.co/aLQetMNmjR
Would we call what we see here an attempted coup in another country? Where would the line be for you on it being a coup or not?
