You see, we don’t call a positive political event a coup.
"if we like it then it's not a coup!"
lmao
They literally think like this. when the military came on television and asked morales to step down in Bolivia, it was either NYT or wapo that had an article saying "don't call it a coup".

coup a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics and especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group
There's another hilarious term the human rights concern troll NGOs have called authoritarian democracies. It's applied to any country they don't contest/allege fraud in the election results but nonetheless don't like the ruling party 🤡
