Similarly to what others have said if we're going this way a bottom up revolution, even should it result in some kind of Soviet dystopia, would be a better direction than having the IC launch an internal coup against the state. The CIA/etc. ousting Trump wouldn't actually change anything, it would just put a more presentable rear end in a top hat into the office and would likely leave untouched most of the lower institutions and practices which lead us to this situation in the first place. It would also almost certainly disarm the Lefts resurgent vitality (and likely the state would then take steps to further uh... "disperse" leftist sentiment.)

Also, Trumps admin is an incompetent tire fire; replacing them with a competent tire fire would be a loss.

So no.

paranoid revenge fantasies notwithstanding, a CIA backed coup can manifest in plenty of different ways; it doesn't have to be a military junta. the CIA could "coup" tangerine pissbaby the same way that they staged a "coup" on JFK and it would be a lot less hassle for everyone involved. the CIA has no meaningful way to actually wage a traditional military coup in the continental US, the outcome of which would then be completely accepted by not only the federal govt but also all 50 state govts and county govts and city govts etc. it's not worth the hassle nor in their best interest.

but they could certainly place another veteran with PTSD and a tenuous grip on reality in a room with a high powered rifle and an unobstructed view of the POTUS parade route.

edit: assuming they can get the illuminati and the cosa nostra and the freemasons to all collaborate for one last hurrah

unless trump gets removed via the established legal methods that allow it, we're done as a democracy, and that's regardless of whether there's a cia coup, or bannon dismantles the federal government, or trump just sits out his term having tweetfights and doing nothing

the US government falling wouldn't be the end of an empire, it would be the end of a republic, and an empire might follow or another republic might arise, but there would be decades of civil war and unrest before order was restored, and this is a particularly bad part of the human population graph, co2 curve, and nuclear weapons per city chart to introduce that kind of instability

I don't know why they wouldn't use established, legal methods if they actually wanted to do it. At some point, Trump's gonna do something that, if it saw the light of day and was supported with hard evidence, it would leave Republicans no choice but to start impeachment proceedings and someone high up in the intelligence community's gonna have that hard evidence.

Someone does Deep Throat 2.0 and gets it out there, investigation kicks into high gear, and you've got President Pence (*shudder*) before too long. Pence seems like the kind of guy who'd be happy to give the intelligence community free reign, so it's not like they need to take out the whole drat government, the next guy in line is probably OK by them.

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.

Who's yall's favorite CIA sponsored dictator? I kind of like the OG Carlos Castillo Armas. As the son of slaveowners he was badass at putting filthy poorer in their place and ensuring that his country would remain a US vassal state for generations to come.

But that's a boring old classic. I'm sure there's some newer hits.
