<p><em>Washington Post</em> writers have produced yet another book – an anti-Trump book, of course. ; It will receive the treatment all left-wing books get in this country. ; The fact that these highly partisan books get instant publishers is the first evidence that the book industry is a captive part of the left-wing propaganda machine.</p>



<p>Of course, the book will get rave reviews from the New York elitist media. And the authors will be guesting on virtually every program in the CNN and MSNBC line up. ; Excerpts from the book will be top of the news stories for the mendacious liberal media platforms. ; With any luck, it will win an in-house Pulitzer Prize – an award that is given by the left to the left. ;</p>



<p>The latest book is entitled, “I Alone Can Fix It.” ; The more salacious passages have to do with former Joint-Chiefs-of-Staff Chairman General Mark A. Milley saving America from a coup by President Trump.</p>



<p>Milley is SAID to have said that he was deeply concerned that Trump would attempt a coup after losing the 2020 election. ; And Milley is SAID to have used words comparing the situation to the rise of Hitler – fearing a “Reichstag Moment.” ; He is also said to have “feared brown shirts in the street.” ; Milley is alleged to have assured associates that the military would not participate in any coup. ; Well Duh! ;</p>



<p>Of course, the book and all the reporting is based on what others may have said that Milley said. ; I have yet to see a single interview in which Milley actually spoke for himself. ; If Milley really did say all those things, I would think it was more of a “Seven Days in May” moment.</p>



<p>Long before the 2020 presidential election, the left was seeding a fantastical narrative that Trump would refuse to leave office if he lost. ; There was no evidence to support that claim – but irrational hatred of Trump does not require evidence. ; Just accusation.</p>



<p>Right after the 2020 election, Democrats and the left-wing media refloated the nonsensical coup theory. ; At the time, I wrote a piece that basically called attention to the fact that there was no evidence of coup plotting – and if there was even the slightest indication – even a hint – the military would never go along with it. ; Just like the General said. ; And the White House staff would have hauled Trump off in a straight jacket.</p>



<p>There was not any possibility of a coup – or even an attempt to mount one. ; The entire notion of a coup was fiction then – and is fiction now. ;</p>



<p>But that has not stopped Democrats and the media from embellishing the initial phony theory of a potential coup by seeing everything as an attempted coup. ; They initially elevated the riot on capitol Hill to an insurrection … then sedition … and finally an attempted coup – an actual attempt to overthrow the government to install Trump as a dictator.</p>



<p>The fact that some people may actually believe the Democrat narratives is more frightening than the fairytale coup.</p>



<p>If you have any view of the history of coups, you will immediately understand that the event of January 6<sup>th</sup> was not a coup – or even an attempted coup. ; In most cases, the military undertake them. ; If the military is not driving the coup, they are stopping them. ; But they need a real coup to stop – not some imaginative ramblings of an old general.</p>



<p>And did you ever see a coup in which those involved do not come to the seat of government with weapons. ; I mean real weapons.  ;How can you have a respectable coup without a bunch of people shooting at each other.</p>



<p>Outside of a few mentally impaired nutcases, I do not believe that any of the demonstrators – and damn few of the rioters – had an intention of overthrowing the government. ; There was no call to arbitrarily install Trump as president-for-life.</p>



<p>They wanted to stop the certification, for sure. ; That was out of a belief that the Democrats stole the election – and that future vote counts or court cases would result in a reversal of the popular vote and, consequently, a reversal in the Electoral College.</p>



<p>Contrary to the portrayal of the Democrat and mendacious media, voting against certification of individual states is not … repeat, not … an insurrection or coup. ; In fact, it is fairly common. ; A number of Democrat legislators voted against the certification of Trump’s 2016 election. ; Were they coup-plotters?</p>



<p>Those on the left have taken hyperbole into hyper-space. ; Not only are they falsely claiming that there was a real coup attempt – with real coup plotters – but they allege it came perilously close to succeeding. WHAAAT!!!!!</p>



<p>Folks like MSNBC favorite “historian” John Meacham has said as much. ; With a straight face, he tells the American people that we nearly lost the Republic on January 6<sup>th</sup>. ; A couple hours of rioting and the Congress was back in business certifying the election of President Biden. ;</p>



<p>As my readers know, I am not a fan of Trump’s personality. I am a constant critic of his pugnacious and bellicose nature. ; I think many of his problems are self-made. ; And I have written commentaries about his inexplicable behavior at times. ; I think he allowed his personality to distract from his many good accomplishments as President.  ;I do believe that his personality is a significant part of the reason Democrats made the gains they did in 2018 – and why he is not in the Oval Office today.</p>



<p>But recognizing his shortcomings should not blind us from the Democrats double-fault – their dangerous left-wing agenda and the biased, dishonest and disgusting way they have gone after Trump, Republicans and conservatives – and the people who supported them in the polling booth.</p>



<p>They have used basic fictional scaremongering narratives to claim Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election – and he was even an asset and agent of Russian President Vladimir Putin. ; Remember how they claimed Trump was violating the “emoluments clause” by profiting off the presidency? ; Then there was the narrative that Trump would start a war to retain power. ; ; He was going to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller. ; And now we have the coup narrative.</p>



<p>But they have not stopped there. ; ; They&#8217;re claiming the coup is still in the offing. ; They predicted that the coup mobs would return to Capital Hill. ; They did not. ; And they claimed that the Trump coup-plotters would be taking to the streets in city after city. ; They did not. ; They are not issuing baseless warning about an August uprising. ; I doubt that will happen. ; But I do believe if a dozen folks show up on a street corner with signs saying the election was stolen, the corrupt press will play it up like another invasion of Normandy.</p>



<p>What all these foreboding narratives have in common is that they were given maximum publicity over long periods of time – but without any evidence. ; And the best evidence that these narratives were propaganda poppycock was that none of them even happened –not even the coup.</p>



<p>There was no coup. ; There was no sedition. ; And there was no insurrection or coup-plotters apart from POSSIBLY a few delusional nutcases involved in the Capitol Hill riot – and maybe not even them.</p>



<p>We need to keep in mind that conservatives favor limited government – diversified among the several states – and lots of personal freedom. ; We do not like authoritarianism. ; The left, however, loves big government – the very milieu of authoritarians. ; The left prefers one-party rule. ; We hear it from people like the <em>Washington Post</em>’s Eugene Robinson, who specifically called for the Republican Party to be “wiped out … crushed” – and that sentiment has been echoed by numerous guests on CNN and MSNBC. ; Hmmm. ; Now who is sounding like Nazis? … and communists? ; I never thought of wiping out the political opposition as an American value.</p>



<p>All the scripts the left has written in the past four years have generally withered away in time. ; The coup script would be more in keeping with a Gilbert and Sullivan musical comedy. ; It is really quite entertaining if you do not take it too seriously.</p>



<p>So, there ‘tis.</p>

Enough of This Coup Crap…
