Why Are We Ignoring The Elephant In The Room?....

we've experienced a coup d'etat. Why is the MSM ignoring that?

I've posted the following before and I think it is time to bring it up again.

I believe that the only way to recover our government back from this coup - is a peaceful military takeover with the military setting up an independent special prosecutor. The military would maintain control until all is revealed, the traitors are dealt with and plans are made to restore our government with a special election.

They majority of Republicans follow him like a faithful dog.
It doesn't matter to them what is happening to the country as long as they have their president.
Unless someone figures how to ween them off of Kool aid we are done for.

Trump and the Russians "stole" the election IMO but technically it was not a coup d'etat, which means laws were circumvented.

The press itself was enthusiastically complicit in getting Trump elected.

The moment that was attempted, a lot of innocent people would be killed and hurt. Then, food production, healthcare, housing and all of that would likely collapse.

Yeah, 50 years from now all that MIGHT be worth it assuming we came out the other side with reasonable, caring people running things. I don't believe that would happen.
