Regime Change Comes Home: The CIA’s Overt Threats against Trump - By Prof. James Petras
The norms of US capitalist democracy include the election of presidential candidates through competitive elections, unimpeded by force and violence by the permanent institutions of the state. Voter manipulation has occurred during the recent elections, as in the case of the John F. Kennedy victory in 1960 and the George W. Bush victory over ‘Al’ Gore in 2000. But despite the dubious electoral outcomes in these cases, the ‘defeated’ candidate conceded and sought via legislation, judicial rulings, lobbying and peaceful protests to register their opposition.
These norms are no longer operative. During the election process, and in the run-up to the inauguration of US President-Elect Donald Trump, fundamental electoral institutions were challenged and coercive institutions were activated to disqualify the elected president and desperate overt public pronouncements threatened the entire electoral order.
We will proceed by outlining the process that is used to undermine the constitutional order, including the electoral process and the transition to the inauguration of the elected president.

The odd thing is that vast numbers of left-minded people, many of whom have a similar perception, are out protesting against Trump, whom they find to be a gut-wrenching reactionary who is part of and supports the system of class oppression.
Yes, these same people also opposed another reactionary, Reagan, in his day. The only reason I haven't been on any anti-Trump demonstrations is because there have been none hereabouts, to the best of my knowledge. It is odd that we can set out from the same premise and reach opposite conclusions, no?
