Oh, we're playing the literalist game. I didn't realize. Yes, if a coup requires a violent overthrow, then that may not have happened.

I would think that modern coup definition could be extended to include tricking a large number of people through media brainwashing. I guess it depends on your minimum definition of violence. Is brain washing a violent act?
