It isn't a coup per se. I suppose it isn't even a conspiracy as individual actors or small groups with the same goal seem to get in each others way as often as not. When this President speaks the left hears racism and demagoguery. The right hears patriotism and stoicism in the face of constant attacks. It isn't either but you can't convince anyone of that. The attacks have been unyielding since day one. Because of this a large swath of the population simply isn't listening anymore. The latest iteration, the proposed impeachment, is just more crying wolf to many people. It's all so far afield that people on either side wouldn't know the truth if they heard it.
