Misusing the word coup so it can lose its meaning. Typical republican bs.
Came here to say this
Of course they want people to consider it a coup. They want that word to mean nothing
They're just mad because they thought when Biden stepped aside the Dems would devolve into infighting and chaos. You know, like Republicans would.
Goodness, could you imagine the sheet storm if Trump backed out?
Or if that assassination attempt had been successful?
“I do not think that word means what you think it means”
TIL applying for a job after your friend turned it down is a coup.
It makes total sense when you look at what they don't consider a coup.
Or that they intentionally misuse words to diminish their impact and normalize pejoratives so they can be even shittier right out in the open.
damn I cant believe Harris is already president, without an election or anything
everything republicans do and say could be a terrible south park fanfic episode
Honestly if you watch Mr. Garrsion as Trump episodes they're rather innocent and cute in retrospective. I think it's become apparent that mocking Trump is dangerous because he often turns out so much worse than you ever imagined.
I'd preface this by saying I voted for Hillary in 2016 - but Trump is so much fucking worse than I ever thought he could be.
Every accusation is a confession.
Maybe they'll start calling it an insurrection next.
Are they mad that she can do something Trump failed at?
No no no, she is a just a peaceful tourist who wandered outside of the secured area on accident. We swear.
these dumbshit chuds wouldn't know a coup if one jizzed in their ass.
It’s not a coup if Biden stepped down, duh.
It’s about the same as me accusing Trump of being a murderer for eating a cheese burger. It’s a nonsequiter.
