Is June 14 the official start of the US coup?

Posted on

Yesterday Trump ordered 700 marines to California to deal with what he calls an insurrection (a subject he knows something about, which knowledge should have made clear to him that this nothing of the sort).

This action is almost unprecedented. US troops are not used for homeland defence. The choice of the marines is particularly provocative. You can almost imagine that Trump is seeking to escalate conflict.

You might wish to call me a cynic, but I cannot help but notice that on June 14 Trump is organising a massive military rally in Washington to celebrate his birthday. Could this be the official date for the start of his coup? I would love to think that this is an absurd idea, but why is it in the current situation?
