    Can you think of any precedent where something like that has happened before?

    In the US? The closest you’d get is JFK, if you think Allen Dulles was behind the assassination, and not just the coverup.

    Outside the US? Constitutional coups after a country goes against US interests happen so frequently that it’s not even noteworthy.

    What would that do, exactly?

    Replace Trump with JD Vance, who I’m sure will be more amenable to the interests of the capitalist class.

      Really? The closest thing in the US -- at all -- is from the 60s? Why do you suppose that is?

        The US party system is extremely effective at keeping threats to capital out of power.
