The Revolution Was Just Televised

Call it what you want. But I think the perpetrators and conspirators would opt for revolution. They've termed it that, I think, at times. Revolution can be construed and reconstrued on the fly -- the kind of thing lawyers love. Deniability

I didn't mean that, I meant this ... I didn't mean throwing out the Constitution, though we tried to do that. I didn't mean subverting the rule of law, though we did accomplish that. I didn't mean disenfranchising voters -- we're still perfecting that. 

They meant a revolution from within, they would have us think, that left essential institutions intact. How is it, then, that it doesn't look that way. Familiar. Equal protection? Gone. Voting rights? Compromised. Balance of powers? Unbalanced. 

Enough with the suspense. The revolution was just televised. A primal time in prime time. The Capitol riot was a prelude. An appetizer. In the end we had a coup. An overthrow. A putsch, sans the beer. A putsch of putzes. But it worked.

The United States is no more. Welcome to the Confederacy.
