Humble reasoning by an American Patriot from "flyover country".
If,
(We The People) as Patriots = Stand by and defend The Constitution of The United States of America, and live according the God-given/inherent freedoms we possess and the principals enshrined in The Declaration & Constitution:
Then,
HOW could (We) be the ones attempting: (A COUP)?
(We The People) = ARE The United States of America.
Supporting & Defending The United States of America as THE REPUBLIC that it is.
And Supporting and Defending The Declaration & Constitution are actually = (The Polar Opposite) of a coup.
Just my 'Capt. Obvious' this fine morning.
