I can question trump legitimacy and the elections fairness, but I know without question that the ‘resistance’ inside the White House is composed of people who were not elected by the American public. Whatever one thinks of trump legitimacy, you have to, by definition, think less of this coup’s legitimacy. Nobody voted for them, and as such they have no right to dictate American policy on any matter.

I agree, but I'm a lot more fine with disruption, delays, and anything constitutionally allowed coming from outside the executive branch.
Because that's undermining the will of the people. Like it or not, per today, Trump was legitimately and fairly elected. This very well might change in the future, but as of now, we have to assume his presidency is legitimate, no matter how vile or incompetent he is.
