I'm not trying to argue the definition of a coup.

You can remove the word "coup" and just say "overthrow of the government" -- that's really what I'm asking you. Do you think that's happening now? If not, what would signal to you that it is happening?

I didn't downvote because you're stating your opinion. Question for you: What would have to happen for you to change your mind from "they're trying to reduce costs" to "oh shit, this really is a coup"?

Wear a mask and shades plus leave your phone at home if you're worried about being tracked. It's really not that hard to figure out.

Ok, how much time do you think one should have to remove their items in this situation?

To be fair you'd probably fit right into a large organization's IT department.

I've been off Reddit for a while but I'd be lying if I didn't just go look at /r/conservative to see.
"I pray Trump knows what he is doing, because if this doesn't work and just results in higher prices and nothing the average person can identify as a positive, then people will sour on Trump."
"Im really worried this is going to bite us hard causing prices to skyrocket."
"I’m in the construction industry and would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous for this rollercoaster." In general, some longer comments are basically saying tariffs will work to bring home manufacturing. The problem with this is we would need manufacturing of most of these things IN PLACE NOW to be ready to do that. We're not since it's a surprise to both U.S. citizens and Canada.
Many other posts are being deleted -- most I've ever seen, but again it's been a while since I've looked at Reddit.

It's proof that it's not about the economy which would mean the door is always open to negotiate a better deal. It's not about drugs since Canada could be calling to say, "We've made X changes to reduce drug trade."

So that begs the question: what is this all about?

I agree there is a large subset of MAGA that are lost causes, however, I've seen a couple people around me change their minds on Trump: One was over the H1B (fear of job loss) and the other was over these recent tariffs (fear of paying more). Had to cause issues that could have direct impacts to them personally to change their minds, but there you have it.

71% drop in a single quarter is time for workers to start looking for other jobs bad. This was way before Elon's Nazi salute so expect things to get way worse. I'd be so embarrassed if I drove a Tesla.
