The sitting president and his allies are actively trying to bypass millions of votes by asking state legislatures to appoint electors against the state's voters' will. That's a fact. Well, they did until that didn't work. Then they tried to throw out the electoral votes of four swing states. Trying to bypass an election like this is indeed a coup-attempt! I've got sources and everything! I've put a few sources below but I'm sure you can find more. These attempts to throw out millions of votes is not normal.

DeSantis urged Pennsylvania and Michigan residents to call state lawmakers and urge them to intervene. “Under Article 2 of the Constitution, presidential electors are done by the legislatures and the schemes they create and the framework.

1) Donald Trump is trying desperately and very publicly attempting to overturn the results of a legitimate, constitutional, and legal election.

2) A coup d'état is defined as an illegal, unconstitutional seizure of power.

3) A self-coup is coup d'état by a leader who originally came to power legally.

3) Ergo Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election is an attempted self-coup

4) Few Congressional Republicans have condemned this coup attempt, and, in fact, seventeen Republican state attorneys general and more than half of Republicans in the House of Representatives signed an amicus brief supporting it.

These are all provable facts.

It repeats for Americans over and over like a tape. The outrages literally copy themselves just switching sides. It's very hard to even discuss these matters with Americans since they have both picked their favorite football team and hold onto their dogmas just middle age church.
