Having been in two countries during a coup, I can tell you the sequence goes something like this: fire military that opposes you, instigate civil unrest, declaration of martial law "for" public safety, denial of coup, arrest media & opposition leaders, set curfew, denial of coup.
Not that I'm worried or anything. 
Also, this is a reminder of why I shouldn't tweet while stressed out (hahaha, 2020) because my grammar is all over the place in the first tweet. Sorry mum.
Oh okay, wasn't expecting this! We got this, people! 
Coups fail all the time. How? We call out the attempt for what it is asap. Media refuse to legitimize it. Govt/ military/ rank & file don't follow orders. Citizens in huge numbers non-violently protest, strike & shut down.
