The "coup" you are referencing is being conducted by the House of Representatives which has essentially plenary power over impeachment. There is no other body, elected or otherwise, that can tell the House whether to impeach. Fortunately, James Madison was a smart little fellow so there are significant checks on the House, especially the 2/3 Senate vote required to convict. The only things "we" can do is express our displeasure by petitioning for the redress of our grievances and voting our representatives out of office. So, if you think about it, it's not a "coup" at all, so much as it is a misguided but constitutional exercise of raw political power.
It’s a coup because it’s just a continuation of the failed coup by the Obama administration/deep state/intelligence community.
They couldn’t get it done illegally so now they’re trying to hide behind a hoax impeachment that has no underlying crime.
But it seems that we all have to play along especially since they haven’t even attempted to vote on impeachment only on impeachment “proceedings”. They know it will fail in the senate so they’re holding out for political theatre in the hopes of influencing the ignorant and along the way try to concoct a crime.

We dont have to play along at all! Moan, complain, write a letter to the editor, post on a message board. But let this be a reminder to the ridiculous “uniparty” crowd. Elections have huge consequences! This is but one.
