So was Hitler, Chavez, Erdogan among others. This take is so blind to history it’s absurd. Facists are often elected democratically.

And they do stage coups. Hitler did, Marcos did in the Philippines, Fujimori in Peru, as well as Chavez and Erdoğan.

Okay, he's a fascist shitbag, no argument there, but its not a coup by definition. This isnt sudden and its not by a small group of people.
