This is extremely dangerous.
Trump is now claiming that he's the victim of a coup, after demanding the arrest of a U.S. congressman for treason, suggesting that the result could be a civil war, and deploying federal agencies to target his political opponents with the full force of the U.S. government.
A year ago, conservatives were pretending to be extremely offended by Eric Holder's "disgusting" and "dangerous" statement, "When they go low, we kick them." And now here we are. mediamatters.org/fox-friends/to…
Trump's "coup" language isn't an errant presidential tweet, it's an official Trump administration talking point that multiple top aides have rolled out on state TV today.
