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.
