Oh god no.

You ever wonder if you should be rooting for a military coup or a killer asteroid? Yeah. Except the far right has been making a concerted push into the US military for the past few decades, so I guess it'll have to be the asteroid. But hey, it isn't all bad - sky-blackening clouds of dust should put the brakes on the current climate crisis!

(I really need to stop looking at the news, except that there's stuff in there I want to see! Also, not knowing about the specifics isn't as helpful as I think it ought to be.)

A non-military coup? How is that supposed to work?

[spiralsheep]

Same way it has done everywhere a non-military coup has been successful: see also fall of the Berlin Wall and Eastern Europe for the successful ones you're probably most familiar with. I personally wouldn't choose to describe them that way but it was a playful reference to your choice of "military coup".
