- Propelloni 2y agoWe have better words for that than "coup", esp. because is is not clear at all if Trump will uphold the constitution, law and traditions of the USA by just abdicating at the end of his 2nd and final term. How about "Gleichschaltung", or "synchronization" for the English speaking folks, instead?
- groestl 2y agoAlso, "Staatsstreich". It seems we [German speaking countries] have experience with that kind of coup.
