So you've never heard the term "Bloodless Coup" ?
- rayiner 5y agoThat’s when the people with the guns don’t have to actually shoot anyone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Bangladesh_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat_attempt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Bangladesh_coup_d%27%C3%A... Petitioning the existing organs of government, even with a shoddy legal theory, isn’t a coup, bloodless or otherwise.
- Nursie 5y agoPetitioning them loudly, by disruptive behaviour, to use extraordinary or theoretical powers to attempt to overturn democracy, kinda starts to look that way though. Much like the (pathetic, but still present) coup attempt in the US last year.
