If it is a coup, it can be easily stopped if Congress and the Courts get off their butts and do something. How about force Musk to testify under oath in Congress.

Oh, it was tried but the GOP blocked it.

That’s the whole point of a coup. That’s how it works. That’s the scariest piece about all of it. The people that can stop it aren’t doing anything. They are afraid. They don’t want to be on the losing side. Maybe they tell themselves if they do nothing then they can stay where they are and work to fix things from within. If they speak up then they get thrown out. It’s better to say nothing. However, they most likely never had a spine to begin with or they simply agree with what’s happening. Or worse, they don’t want to give up their cushy life and don’t care who gets hurt.

Any president can lose their minds and do crazy things. That’s nothing to worry about. We have systems in place to solve that. What you’re seeing is the system failing and our elected people doing nothing for the purpose of saving their own skin.

Bunch of sycophants who are willing to sell out our democracy for some twitter likes.

Edit: The post is flagged. Glad we have nothing to worry about. No discussion necessary.
