The debate is over. After a year spent investigating claims of election fraud, the media has determined that any fraud in the 2020 election was too insignificant to have changed the outcome and Joe Biden legitimately won. Now we can get back to our normal lives, or whatever passes for normal nowâŠexcept thatâs fiction.
In 44 BC, Roman Senators murdered Caesar, claiming they acted to protect the Republic. In fact, they simply sought power. Their coup dâĂ©tat put the final nail in the coffin of a republic that had been dead in deed, if not name, for decades.
Coup dâĂ©tats differ from revolutions in that theyâre generally orchestrated by or include people within government who seize powerâoften by narrowly using or just threatening violenceâresulting in a rapid transition of power. Revolutions are often longer affairs that include much of a countryâs population and exponentially more bloodshed.
