Many on the far-right believe that elements of the CIA are plotting the overthrow of Donald J Trump by creating an "American Spring" this summer. George Soros is also reportedly involved. Are you a Bad enough dude to overthrow the President? Or... Would a CIA coup destroy American democracy?

if a cia-backed military coup attempts to depose democratically elected president donald j. trump, i hope we can all conclude that actually, trump is cool & good. the cia, after all, never overthrows a bad person, except at the behest of a worse one.

Weary of overthrowing the democratically elected leaders of our adversaries and allies, the Serious People have decided to give our ghoulish security apparatus a taste of the absolute power it's lusted after for six decades This can not possibly go wrong, as certainly they will relinquish power after a short transitional period, since after all it's Her Turn

Cia replacing trump with someone slightly nicer and saner doesnt remove the large Repub majorities in congress, fix gerrymandered districts, or force the public to grow up and stop being idiots who would just elect someone else like trump in another decade.

probably. the cia are loving vile, but somehow bannon is even worse. he's everything i hate about the cia and more. i shudder to think of what an intelligence agency would look like if it was ran by him. god bless the cia for not going along with this, if they were on trump's side we would be 100% no questions hosed. better than the devil we know.

The CIA does not care about the any of concerns of the people who are anti-trump. In many regards, it's historic policies/actions are well in line with Trumpism. Their only concern with Trump will be a) the Russia connection, b) whether or not Trump is as isolationist as he says he is and c) if his ignorance of world affairs is going to constrain their freedom of action in any way More likely, Trump will throw the IC a bone, and everything will plod along just fine. If Trump crosses the line on any 3 of those things, the cia will collaborate with the house/senate gop to neuter Trump/impeach. A coup is not necessary nor desirable. The military-industrial complex already owns the system, why would they overthrow it?

The paranoid fantasies of the alt right simply express their belief that soros/sjw/jews control everything, and not the liberty loving right wing Moral Minority, and that's why America is poo poo. The more inconvenient truth is that America is poo poo precisely because right wing idiots and fascist sympathizers, have been implementing their policies in America unopposed, for the last couple of decades. Yet this has, strangely, only lead America into being a kleptocratic dystopian hellhole. Just like leftists said it would. So you see the alt-right's problem - they either have to admit leftists were right, and that right wing economic policy is corporate feudalism that leads to suffering and death, that makes the rich richer and kills the poor, while destroying the environment and society, that capitalism is death and that the communists were right or, they have to create a fantasy world were the not-decimated american left runs everything, including the very organizations that brutally repressed left wing political groups in America and across the world. So, naturally, they live in the fantasy world.

Would it really be a coup though? Wouldn't it be more like they "persuade" him to resign for personal reasons? Does blackmail really count as a coup? It happened in Qatar not too long ago but that's a monarchy so it doesn't really count.

he could get impeached and refuse to leave office and it would still be a "coup", I guess you could say not all coups are bad.
