(PS) Ignore the social media preview; you have to actually click on the link to see the report and where the meter currently stands.
Understand also that the red zone in the meter is for when the United States has collapsed and is under a tyrannical government that has already _completed_ its coup.
It's already in the red. The last chance the US had to stop it was before Trump was inaugurated. It's painfully naive that there are still people there that think this ends anywhere but bloody war (civil if the blue states retain some military control, global otherwise).
I'd add that it's not even a coup. A coup was what he tried last time. Now he's elected, and every recourse ends in a supreme court that he owns.
The US flat-out voted to get a king. He's doing exactly what he said he'd do in his 2025 manifesto. That's not a coup.
I didn't say it was. It's just too late for any solution other than violence. It's either civil war as states declare independence, or WW3 if they don't.
There isn't a future where Trump stands down peacefully, you know there isn't. You couldn't even stop him when he wasn't king.
Of course I haven't experienced a civil war. You haven't either. It sounds horrible.
Inevitable though.
If you think there remain non-violent options then I'm really sorry, I don't think you get it. The Dems were playing bipartisan collaboration, Trump was playing Game of Thrones. He won.
As a whole, yes. We have an uneducated population. Obviously not all of us. But please keep in mind that, had Republicans not taken aggressive steps to block and throw out votes, we wouldn't be in this mess. This coup started a long time ago.
Tbh I don't think Trump realises because he's too old to understand computers, but it's *Musk* who runs a dictatorship. Once they fall out, it is Musk who decides what info gets leaked, what money gets moved.
The attitude of seeing reality? We're watching a private citizen, not elected, no security clearance, raiding our national data and taking control of our money. He's got it right now. It's a coup, and every second that goes by that Congress does nothing makes it harder to unwind, if they even can.
The point is to tire us out. Fascism wins against indifference and exhaustion. Yes, it is a coup. We the people have a voice though. I refuse to let Nazis win.
a deliberate attempt to not follow the constitution is a coup
even if they did win the vote - it was a vote for POTUS (not king, not dictator) and the job description IS spelled out in the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

“Understand also that the red zone in the meter is for when the United States has collapsed and is under a tyrannical government that has already _completed_ its coup.”
if congress (meaning GOP) takes no actions to curb this, I think you can call that the red zone... we will know soon.
I think Congress is already at the "take no action" stage -- no one is seriously contesting his rule by executive orders/usurpation of the legislative function.
Ezra Klein says that Trump is "flooding the zone." Putting out stuff to cause chaos, confusion, and further division in order to hide what his actual short-term objectives are. Does this point to former South African and now USA native, Leon?
Not enough people are seeing it yet. They’ve been so programmed. Our blue echo chamber is there, but it didn’t even get us our election result. We need some Republicans, including 4 in the Senate, to say no. At what point do they grow a pair? Will the pressure come from constituents?
I wouldn't be surprised if there are fist fights in our Congress. Dems won't start the fight, but if attacked, we always defend ourselves and don't take it just lying down. The whole idea of making EVERYONE SUFFER is absolute bull shit. The GOP are a bunch of TRAITORS to the people!
Very foreseeable. They’re frustrated because they believe in the constitution/rule of law but this regime doesn’t. It’s like bringing a knife to a gunfight! They’re starting to find their footing in this upside down inside out world. We all need to cause good trouble in unison with them.
We MUST push them to create Amendment 28 - "No person who is either currently charged with or convicted of a high crime or misdemeanor may run for or hold any office for the federal government, including but not limited to President, Vice President, Cabinet Member, House Representative, or Senator."
Nope, the data is stolen, and the back-doors installed, and there is proof there is not one single adult in the room this go-round. The Coup is over. Trump insulted the fat lady and sent her home in tears, with a target on her back. Most Americans chuckled.

This was from last year. A great explanation of what is happening now.
It definitely feels like a coup. I'm pretty sure all the other countries see this as a coup too. Normally USA would accuse other countries of doing a coup at this point as well.
That’s the plan. Fast paced confusion so we loose are focus on what’s actually happening!
We have to stay focused on their agenda and dismiss all of the other issues. 💙☮️🇺🇸
They're being replaced by an American kgb. Run in secret by Russian specialists. Americans won't know who they are, where they are, nor what they are doing. The press and media will no longer gather and report news. This is what Putin has been advising trump on in their secret meetings.
So ok we stop this "coup" and go back to the creaking neoliberal edifice farce that has been happening. What now? No one would get "in trouble" even if we did stop it. And it wouldn't deter someone in the future. Plus we'd still be a creaking neoliberal empire. There are no good options here..
We need to make sure our military friends and family understand what's going on & discuss what they will do if the crazies try to establish martial law. We need to talk about how we can resist within the military. Biden advised the military to be clear about their oath in his parting speech.
Senators: Please go to John Thune and request the Senate have secret ballot on ALL votes so that the Senators can vote on MERIT versus intimidation and extortion. Make a stink about the cowardice of the GOP. There is no transparency at this time in the Executive branch so no problem.
It's amazing what simple working class people are willing to go to prison for or even kill or die for when the wealthy white elitists who convince them to do so continue to live in the lap of luxury.
I really feel that just the first line of this article is giving Cheathoe too much credit.
He's a puppet....it's the techbros and Christian Nationalist leadership that are in cahoots to take over the country.
Yep, it’s the disbelief that’s winning it for Musk & Trump.
By the time the people that count wake up it will be too late, for them & us.

THANK YOU! I have no idea why this hasn't already been implemented when the threats against everyone in Congress started happening by drumpf and his cohorts well before the election!
We have to try everything. There’s no reason not to try this. We have to do every tiny, little bit we can. Not trying is far worse. I am a total pain in the ass. I am constantly calling someone - be it friend or foe. 
Its Sedition under 18 U.S.C. § 2384.
-Conspiring to oppose the authority of the U.S. government by force
-Conspiring to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the U.S. by force.
-Conspiring to seize, take, or possess any property of the U.S. by force.
The only issue is that neither Trump nor Pete are going to inform the military for obvious reasons. So it's up to citizens to make them aware by contacting military branches and groups directly, as well as military friends and family, to make sure they're aware.
The military swears an oath to the constitution, not any one person or party. Part of that oath is protecting the country from enemies fireign and domestic.
They are supposed to disobey unconstitutional orders as well. So it doesn't matter who runs it. (cont)

There was a fraudulent election. And the fool pretending he won the election wasnt even officially sworn in because he didnt even have his hand on the bible.
I dont know anyone that did nothing and I also dont know anyone in other states that voted for him. People have started to come out and say Elon forced them ot participate in election interference, Nevada has found election interference. Elon openly interfered in front of our faces bribing people.
Make no mistake, if any of us broke the laws that Trump, Musk and our Republican congressional members have since the inauguration, we would be lying on floor of a Federal Penitentiary getting our asses kicked daily. This is illegal and disgraceful. Our Congress is a disgrace.
And the point of this is???? You Americans are oh so good at websites, with meters and all sorts, when it comes to taking action you suddenly find you have to wash your hair or have an important meeting..Serbia (pop 6.6m) smaller than N.Y. does this
Hey guys, nice idea.
I'm thinking of another metric to consider, to determine if it's a coup or not: why just not simply check if the president was elected by the majority of the citizens ?
One issue is denial
I engaged and uneducated people never studied history and don’t get it. They will get it when their SS doesn’t come in and Elon is out of control
So pretty good chance of that happening
When are all military branches gonna band together and say F it, storm the WH, arrest Musk and Trump and defend our constitution? Or do you need like special balls for that?
It's going to end with them being dragged into the streets, or it won't end
If you think we can use the law as our only weapon against the lawless, you've already lost.
Protest in their neighbourhoods.
They will never do the right thing without the fear of losing their jobs and/or their lives.
Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons et al, created the visuals and words, and stories 40 years ago to show where we are at in our current constitutional crisis. It actually already happened, and now we are in a new world.
The real coup d'état began in 2015 when McConnell refused to allow Obama to appoint a judge to SCOTUS. This is the end of a 10 year effort. Citizens United was the fuel that began the initial attempt.
Why isn't every major editorial board in the US publishing statements saying yes, this is a coup? This is only being stated by bloggers and professors. Shouldn't there be announcements by governors, senators, popes, prime ministers, etc., saying yes, this is a coup?
On Presidents Day, everyone fly the American flag upside down. This is a message of distress/duress in times of war. Couldn’t be more appropriate right now.
I will be doing it. Pass the idea on …
Yes it will be a long, painful journey, but we ARE going to do it! These TRAITORS to our beautiful America are going DOWN! I will fight like a UKRAINIAN for my country and I know I'm not alone!

Understand also that the red zone in the meter is for when the United States has collapsed and is under a tyrannical government that has already _completed_ its coup.
In that sense the coup is mostly completed. FOTUS is President in name only, Congress is neutered, Laws and Courts are just ignored.
The US flat-out voted to get a king. He's doing exactly what he said he'd do in his 2025 manifesto. That's not a coup.

Trump / Musk now run a dictatorship.
Well done America, learned absolutely nothing from WW2 but then, history & geography don’t seem to be taught in US schools (or modern studies).
Keep the masses stupid = easy to manipulate.

Folks are 'over it' with any attempts to downplay what is happening to our country.
Better soon accept it and react ..instead of debating about where the meter is.

If it looks like a coup, walks like a coup, and quacks like a coup, then it probably is a coup.
Attempting a coup is incorrect.
"Carrying out a coup" is the proper terminology.
