When I looked up coup in the dictionary, I found these definitions:

1) a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government.

2) a notable or successful stroke or move.

We can absolutely eliminate #1 because it was not a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government. Joe Biden is still the president and Kamala Harris is still the VP until January 20, 2025. No unlawful seizure of power there. And, unlike the January 6th attempted coup by Trump, there was no violence.

However, it’s tough to argue with #2. It most certainly was a notable or successful stroke or move by Joe Biden. In fact, it’s been extremely notable and successful.

So ya, it was a hell of a coup by Joe. Well done, Joe!!!! I love you, man.

Yeah, they're trying to normalize taking a coup, but what Trump did was called an attempted self-coup since he was CIC at the time of the attempted coup.

And by using the second definition, Joe was successful and Trump was a miserable failure - again. Trump readied a coup and set the wheels in motion to hamper getting out of Afghanistan and hopefully make it into a losing spectacle for all the losers, but it was a success. We got out of there with little of the problems that could have happened. Trump laid the groundwork that helped the Taliban. Taliban Trump - fitting.
