Why is the word " Coup " being used?
A " Coup " is when fractions within the establishment i.e. The Military or Parties Or Elites Within The Government Apparatus try to take over complete control of a country or state .
This chap is talking either revolt or civil war. Certainly not a " Coup "
Exactly. He's just blowing smoke, I'd suggest because in his little fantasy world he thinks he is relevant.
Apparently some people are threatened by his little fantasy world or they wouldn't be circulating this rubbish.
It's a conditional veiled threat. It's conditional on Trump becoming president. The threat is indirect by trying to insinuate third parties potential activities when in fact, it would be thus clown trying to organize the coup.
A coup d'état ...French: literally "blow of state" or "hit of state"; plural: coups d'état, (pronounced like the singular form), also known simply as a coup , putsch or an overthrow, is the illegal and overt seizure of a state by the military or other elites within the state apparatus. A coup d'état is considered successful when the usurpers seize and hold power for at least seven days.

Anyone with half a brain should realize from the political climate at the moment that if Trump DOES get elected, if he so much as puts a whisker wrong, he'd be the object of a bipartisan impeachment attempt faster than anyone here could likely start the thread.
And that would constitute a coup, albeit a legal one.
BLM is no fantasy world. Their hatred, racism and violence is real. But King seems to be a fantasist caught up in his own little lies. He'd be the first to piss his pants if there was the type of escalation he is talking about.

Well, it does not appears that he actually called for a coup and who is this white guy at BLM everyone is talking about?
Shaun King is African American.
you are fooling yourself if you think we’re far from having a coup our own selves,” King tweeted. “I’m dead serious.
"we're" and "I'm dead serious" sounds to me that he is calling for one. He wrote it in such a way that sure, "technically" he is not calling for one, but anyone with rational thought should be able to decipher that.
It'd take a lot more than BLM to create a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from the government.

Oh I agree, for sure. They do not even come close to having the logistics, experience, equipment, etc to pull one off.

Do you not know what "coup" means? It's a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government.
